Matter absorbs photons. Electrons in quantized harmonized orbits of the same energy level as the photon absorp it.

What does it mean to describe something as being quantized?

From wiki: Quanta is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction. Behind this, one finds the fundamental notion that a physical property may be "quantized," referred to as "the hypothesis of quantization. This means that the magnitude can take on only certain discrete values. There is a related term of quantum number. An example of an entity that is quantized is the energy transfer of elementary particles of matter (called fermions) and of photons and other bosons.

What is a quantum of light energy?

A quantum of energy is the most basic unit of energy. According to the quantum theory put forward by German physicist Max Planck in 1900, energy exists as discrete particles called quanta. The energy of a quantum E is given by: E = hf where h is the Planck constant (h = 6.6 x 10-34) and f is the frequency of the radiation.

Digital quantized information and analog is just information. Like the letter "i" on your screen is digital and made up of a few pixels= quantized. The letter "i" drawn on a piece of paper is not quantized = analog.
