  2. It is named after Erwin Schrödinger, who postulated the equation in 1925 and published it in 1926, forming the basis for the work that resulted in his Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933. [ 2 ][ 3 ] Conceptually, the Schrödinger equation is the quantum counterpart of Newton's second law in classical mechanics.

  3. Sep 13, 2024 · The equation, developed (1926) by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, has the same central importance to quantum mechanics as Newton’s laws of motion have for the large-scale phenomena of classical mechanics.

  4. Sep 17, 2024 · Erwin Schrödinger showed that the quantization of the hydrogen atom’s energy levels that appeared in Niels Bohr’s atomic model could be calculated from the Schrödinger equation, which describes how the wave function of a quantum mechanical system (in this case, a hydrogen atom’s electron) evolves.

  5. Apr 8, 2013 · As the river analogy implies, there are many different ways to obtain the Schrödinger equation, with the most prominent one having been developed by Richard Feynman in 1948. But none of...

  6. Earlier in the same year, he created the Schrödinger equation of the relativistic Doppler effect for spectral lines, based on the hypothesis of light quanta and considerations of energy and momentum.

  7. Sep 17, 2024 · In 1928 the English physicist Paul A.M. Dirac produced a wave equation for the electron that combined relativity with quantum mechanics. Schrödinger’s wave equation does not satisfy the requirements of the special theory of relativity because it is based on a nonrelativistic expression for the kinetic energy (p 2 /2m e).

  8. Feb 13, 2024 · Erwin Schrödinger, an Austrian physicist, made a monumental leap in quantum theory with the introduction of his wave equation in 1926. This equation, now famously known as the Schrödinger Equation, serves as a vital foundation in non-relativistic quantum mechanics.
