Wolfgang Pauli

Austrian-Swiss theoretical physicist who received the 1945 Nobel Prize for the Pauli exclusion principle — and who, while in Jungian analysis with a student of Jung's, entered a 25-year intellectual correspondence with Jung about synchronicity, the relationship between quantum mechanics and psychology, and the unus mundus.

Demonstrated that the greatest physicist of his generation found Jungian psychology intellectually serious — Pauli's engagement with synchronicity, his own dreams (the World Clock dream), and his interest in the relationship between the observer and the observed in quantum mechanics created the most prestigious scientific engagement with depth psychology.
