Erwin

Schrödinger was

1887in Vienna

Austria-Hungary.

EARLY YEARS

SCHRÖDINGER

In 1926 an Austrian Physicist

Erwin Schrödinger created a new

model for the hydrogen atom his

theory seemed to apply equally

well an area in which bhors model

failed .

Schrödinger was

known for his

development of a

number fundamental ,

which started the

quantum theory.

THE EQUATION

QUANTUM THEORY

Schrödinger’s helped further the wave

theory, by coming up with a equation

that treated the hydrogen atoms

electron’s as a wave. This theory is

known as the Quantum Mechanical Model of

the Atom

SCHRÖDINGER’S ACHIEVMENTS

Schrödinger equation, which he

formed in 1926 to describe the

quantum state of a system, is an

achievement at a more technical level.

It is celebrated as one of the most

important achievements in 20th

Century physics and earned

Schrödinger A Nobel Prize in Physics In

1933.

Schrödinger found time for an extensive

correspondence with his personal friend

Albert Einstien and, as a result, he

proposed in 1935 what has become

known as the “Schrödinger's cat.
