Edwin Schrodinger
RYAN LANDRY & ZACH HUGHES

2. Early Life Born in 1887 Homeschooled
Later attended the University of Vienna to get his PhD in physics
Was inspired by Friedrich Hasenhor
Both went into WWI, Hasenhor died and was unable to accept his Nobel Peace Prize

3. Later on Down the Road
Bounces around a bit, and finally goes home and gets married
Offered a job in Switzerland at the University of Zurich
Most productive during his 6 years here
Interest sparked by Albert Einstein
Most Famous for: Wave Mechanics

4. Quantum Mechanics Very confusing topic
Einstein’s laws of motion do not work correctly in the subatomic universe
Separate laws were created for the small, one of which was Schrodinger’s equation

5. Schrodinger’s Equation
The most basic form:
Can be used for many things, like determining potential and kinetic energy of systems, but it was originally created to determine the movement of electrons

6. Diffraction
In a similar way to light diffracts when you look into water, electrons diffract in light wave patterns.
Schrodinger created his equation to explain the pattern at which the electrons move

7. Schrodinger’s Cat
