Wolfgang Pauli

Category: Quantum Mechanics, Exclusion Principle

Wolfgang Pauli was an Austrian physicist best known for formulating the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which states that no two fermions (particles like electrons, protons, neutrons) can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. This principle is foundational in quantum mechanics and explains many properties of atoms, including the structure of the periodic table and the stability of matter.
