Erwin Schrondinger wrote out an equation that can be used to describe the probability that a particle, within a specified field, will have a specific location. The partial differential equation, called (no surprise) the Schrondinger Equation, is usable only in a few specific cases; but the fact that it correctly predicted certain results led physicists to reconstruct physics at the quantum level.

Why quantum mechanics is someone called wave mechanics?

It is also called wave mechanics because quantum mechanics governed by Schrodinger's wave equation in it's wave-formulation.


Who has the greatest contribution in quantum mechanics among Heisenberg and Dirac and Schrodinger?

Heisenberg, Dirac and Schrodinger all made large combinations. Schrodinger is famous for his wave mechanics, Heisenberg for his matrix notation. Dirac realised that the theories of Heisenberg and Schrodinger were essentially the same. He also created the Dirac equation, an important step in the creation of a relativistic version of Quantum Mechanics.


Who presented the keystone to wave mechanics?

For general waves...probably d'Alembert, who solved the one-dimensional wave equation. In quantum it would have to be Schrodinger.


Who was Schrodinger and what did he call his cat?

He was a physicist that is most known for working with quantum mechanics. Schrodinger's cat was his thought on the uncertaintiness of the modern model of quantum mechanics. The cat was either dead or alive but also neither.


How does Schrodinger agrees with Heisenberg's principle?

They both describe the nature of the wave/particle duality They also both point to the uncertainty of quantum mechanics

Who are erwin schrodinger and werner heisenberg?

They were two co-founders of quantum mechanics


Suggest you best book on quantum mechanics?

In Search of Schrodinger's Cat is a good one, although it focuses a little more on quantum physics than mechanics.


Who is Schrodinger and Heisenberg?

Schrödinger and Heisenberg are known to be two of the important founders of quantum mechanics. They both invented a mathematical formalism for quantum mechanics. Schrodinger's formalism which was based on the wave equation was the most popular one. Heisenberg's formalism was based on the notion of quantum jumps (the innate "randomness" of sub-atomic physics the very reason that the famous "Schrodinger's cat" is not alive or dead...). Heisenberg's formalism was innovative but more difficult to handle. The difference on the formalism reflects their different views on the interpretation of quantum mechanics; Schrondinger was more a realist and he was sharing Einstein view that randomness is not desirable in the description of sub-atomic physics. Heisenberg on the other hand was more a supporter of the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics which interprets the sub-atomic randomness as an innate characteristic of the sub-atomic world and the very heart of quantum physics theory.


What is the name of Schrodinger atomic model?

A Schrodinger atomic model doesn't exist; you think probable to quantum mechanics.


Why did schrodinger use probability?

Erwin Schrödinger was a physicist and a father of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics deals a lot with probability. His famous Schrödinger equation, which deals with how the quantum state of a physical system changes in time, uses probability in how it deals with the local conservation of probability density.

How did Erwin Schrodinger achieve quantum mechanics?

schrodinger's dad worked with albert Einstein. Schrodinger looked up to Einstein and was amazed by his ways of thinking. Einstein inspired Schrodinger to become a scientist.
