Erwin Schrödinger Austrian-Irish physicist who developed the Schrödinger equation — the fundamental equation of quantum mechanics. His famous thought experiment "Schrödinger's cat" illustrated the paradoxes of quantum superposition and remains one of the most widely cited concepts in popular science.
Overview
Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger, sometimes written as Schroedinger or Schrodinger, was an Austrian–Irish theoretical physicist who developed fundamental results in quantum theory. In particular, he is recognized for devising the Schrödinger equation, an equation that provides a way to calculate the wave function of a system and how it changes dynamically in time. He coined the term "quantum entanglement" in 1935. Schrödinger shared the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics with Paul Dirac "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory."
