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...

Alien could be discovered on this new class of 'Hycean' exoplanet.

In the discovery for Alien life, astronomers have mostly looked for planets of a similar size, mass, temperature, and atmospheric composition to Earth. Recently, the team of astronomers find a class of planets that may prove the existence of Alien Life. Such exoplanets are more numerous in planetary surveys than rocky ones, which means they could be fertile territory in the search for alien life. The researchers have dubbed them 'Hycean' worlds.  In the new study, researchers identify one such class of alien worlds "Hycean" planets, which are up to 2.5 times larger than Earth and feature huge oceans of liquid water beneath hydrogen-rich atmospheres. Hycean planets appear to be incredibly abundant throughout the Milky Way galaxy, and they could host microbial life similar to the "extremophiles" that thrive in some of Earth's harshest environments, study team members said. "Hycean planets open a whole new avenue in our search for life elsewhere,...
