👉 In the field of computer science, a quiescent state is one where an object remains in a certain state or state pattern without making any changes. It's like when you're sitting on the couch and it's just been sitting there for hours before anyone comes over to make some noise. In programming terms, quiescing means that the program is not performing any action, so you can say that the computer is "quiescent" or "not actively processing".
