In 1925, wolfgang pauli introduced two new numbers and formulated the pauli principle, which proposed that no two electrons in an atom could have identical sets of quantum numbers. Pauli's particle was named the neutrino by fermi in 1934 and at that time he correctly stated that it was not a constituent of the nucleus of an atom It was later found experimentally This period of scientific discovery by pauli coincided with a period of increasing personal difficulties for him. Pauli vectors the pauli vector is defined by [b] where and are an equivalent notation for the more familiar and the pauli vector provides a mapping mechanism from a vector basis to a pauli matrix basis [2] as follows More formally, this defines a map from to the vector space of traceless hermitian matrices.
