Schrödinger

Erwin Schrödinger was a physicist best known for developing the Schrödinger equation, a fundamental formula in quantum mechanics. This equation describes how the quantum state of a physical system, like an atom or particle, evolves over time. It helps scientists understand the behavior of particles at very tiny scales where classical physics no longer applies. Schrödinger's work revealed that particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed, leading to the concept of superposition. His contributions have been crucial in advancing our understanding of the microscopic world, laying the foundation for modern quantum theory and technologies such as quantum computing.
