His key "discovery" (its not really a discovery) is his thought experiment that expresses the idea of the Copenhagen interpretation. It tries to describe what happens with quantum mechanics applied to the macroworld. Basically, you have a cat in a sealed box with radioactive matter, a flask of poison, and a Gieger counter. If the Geiger counter detects radiation, it will be attached to a mechinism that will smash the flask and kill the cat. But since the cat is in a sealed box, you can't see or observe what happened, you cannot tell if the cat is alive or dead, and the conclusion is that the cat is alive and dead at the same time. Schrodinger wasn't quite being literal on the macroworld scale but it would explain the processes of quantum mechanics.
