the stepwise rise of a narrow constriction's conductance in integer multiples of two e squared over h as more channels open.

In condensed matter physics, conductance quantization refers to the stepwise rise of a narrow constriction's conductance in integer multiples of two e squared over h as more channels open. This meaning comes from van Wees (1988) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
