The Vienna School of Physicists

The Vienna School of Physicists was a group of scientists based in Vienna in the early 20th century who made pivotal contributions to quantum mechanics and atomic physics. Led by figures like Erwin Schrödinger and Wolfgang Pauli, they focused on understanding the behavior of atoms and subatomic particles, challenging classical physics ideas. Their work helped develop quantum theory, explaining phenomena that couldn't be understood with traditional physics, such as atomic stability and electron behavior. This group played a key role in shaping modern physics, emphasizing mathematical models and wave concepts that remain foundational today.
