To which type of Fundamental forces below the Pauli's exclusion belong?

Strong nuclear forces
Coulomb forces
Weak nuclear forces
Gravitational forces

The Pauli exclusion principle exists independently of the fundamental forces. It exists also among non-interacting particles of the same kind (if such actually existed).

I asked a similar question a while ago, and there were a few pages of discussion that you may like to read through: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=409034

That thread also contains links to other threads and websites.

Has anyone formulated thay the PEP as an entropic force, or proven that it can't be?

The exclusion principle and it's resulting "something-which-looks-like-a-force" are unrelated to entropy. These are two completely different concepts. Entropy is not even a property of a micro system (i.e., a system in a pure state)!
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
