The Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961) was the founder of wave mechanics and described the quantum behavior of electrons. For nearly 5 decades, Erwin Schrödinger, one of the most creative theoretical physicists of the 20th...

Schrödinger was born in Vienna on August 12, 1887. He received his earliest education at home and then at the local gymnasium. He entered the University of Vienna and earned his Ph.D. there in 1910. During World War I, he served in the army as an...

Erwin Schrödinger was one of the foremost physicists of our time, responsible for the theory of atomic motion known as wave mechanics or quantum mechanics. He is important to biology because of a slim volume he published in 1944 called What Is...
