Quantum Tunnelling



What is Quantum Tunnelling?


Quantum tunnelling is a quantum mechanical topic in which subatomic particles probability disappears from one side of potential barriers and appears on other side without any probability current flow inside the barrier. In this effect particles have a finite probability of crossing an energy barrier. Tunneling occur in quantum mechanics when electron pass through the barrier which they possibly cannot pass. Its occur because of significant solution of Schrodinger Equation.


Applications of Quantum Tunnelling

Quantum tunnelling has its uses in Physics. Its uses are in nuclear fission, quantum computing, tunnel diode and scanning tunnelling microscope. Radioactive decay and the behavior of semiconductors and superconductors are also related applications of Quantum Tunnelling. 

How Quantum Tunnelling happens?

Lets get the example of throwing ball. Suppose you throw a ball above a wall. What will happen ? There are two possibilities if ball have enough energy to pass the hill it will go other side or come back down. But in quantum physics things are different.Even if the particles not have energy to pass the barriers it will appear other side. If the particles confront the energy barrier this changes the wave function, which start the decay inside the barrier. This helps to pass the particles.

RPA - UiPath

What is RPA?   RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is technology which let organization to make their task easy by allowing them to automate the task just like a human being was doing them across  application and systems. The purpose of RPA is to transfer the process execution from humans to bots. Robotic process automation interacts with the existing IT architecture with no complex system integration required. UiPath - The vendor UiPath is a New York City-based global software company that develops a platform for robotic process automation (RPA). The company's software monitors user activity to automate repetitive front and back office tasks, including those performed using other business software such as customer relationship management or enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.   UiPath develops software to automate repetitive digital tasks normally performed by people. The technology combines emulating how humans read computer screens (AI Computer Vision) with APIs...

Some Pseudoscience and myths we still believe

Hi frnd, In this post I have mentioned some science fact and myth, among which some myth are not properly proof by science yet. But we still used to believe in that. That are also known as Pseudoscience. Bad Small Can Make You Sick According to the once-popular miasma theory, diseases were caused by "bad air." Miasma is the name for this foul-smelling, poisonous vapor that carried particles of decaying matter. In 1854, epidemiologists traced a deadly outbreak of cholera to water contamination. Discovering no organic matter in the water that was undoubtedly causing all the cholera, John Snow debunked miasma theory by proving that cholera is a waterborne disease. Soon, germ theory caught on and miasma flew out the window. Diffrent Parts of Tongue Have Different Taste Maybe this is one you learned in school, and maybe even still believe. Sorry, the idea that the tip of your tongue picks up sour tastes, or the middle of your tongue processes sweetness, or whatever, i...

Quantum Computer

Quantum computer use quantum mechanics to perform any computation. Basic unit of quantum system is Quantum Bits. These technology has great contributions in Super computer, Artificial intelligence or Machine learning. Many big companies are investing billion to develop super computer to get their thinking models.  IBM Quantum Computing Project Regular computer store information in bits 0 or 1. But Quantum computer stores information in Qubits ( i.e Quantum Bits). It means it store 0 and 1.It was the reason why Quantum computer are Faster than a Classical computer. Quantum computer base on Quantum Gates and Mearsurent. Any two level Quantum mechanics system used as Quit. Study of Quantum system is done by Quantum simulator. Quantum computer are very useful in solving physics problem. Quantum computer process information in fraction of time. A new Exascale computing project  will also based on Quantum Bits. Quantum computer are useful in cryptography. It also consi...
