Rommel J. Jagus Wolfgang Ernst Pauli was one of the great contributors of quantum mechanics. He was an Austrian-born Swiss physicist and a Nobel laureate. He was born in Vienna Austria – Hungary on April 25 of year 1900. In 1918, he finished his early education in Vienna. He received his Ph.D. in July 1921 […]

Marichu M. Tompong-Miscala Local realism is the idea that an object has definite properties or assumes a definite state without being affected by the act of measurement [1]. This belief is especially contrary to the probabilistic ( not deterministic ) characteristic of quantum mechanics. In 1965, John S. Bell had proposed a mathematical proof or […]

Sandra L. Manulat “Schrodinger’s cat paradox is a classical illustration of the conflict between the existence of quantum superpositions and our real-world experience of observation and measurement”[1]. The Principle of Superposition of States in quantum mechanics has become strikingly successful at describing physical phenomena at the atomic scale.  Quantum superposition requires us to assume that […]

Normie Jean B. Sajor Quantum mechanics is one of the most functional theories in the world of physics.  It describes the workings of particles, atoms, and molecules with extraordinary accuracy and also explains the action of lasers and transistors. Yet, the debate about the relation of quantum mechanics to the familiar physical world continues. For […]

Catherine Therese J. Quiñones For many years, computers have doubled in power every year or so, as what Moore’s law predicts. This means that transistors are getting smaller and smaller and will eventually approach the size of an atom. However, in the atomic regime, the physics is completely different from what is observed in the […]
