Erwin Schrödinger
Born: August 12th, 1871
Died: January 4th, 1961
Erwin Schrödinger was born in Vienna, Austria in 1871.
He studied at the University of Vienna and was the professor of physics in Stuttgart, Germany, Breslau, Germany (which is now Wroclaw, Poland), and Zürich, Switzerland. He became the professor of physics at the University of Berlin in 1927 after Professor Max Planck. In 1940 he became a professor at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies in Ireland. He retired in 1956.
Schrödinger extended Bohr's idea of the atom holding a nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. Schrödinger's ideas were proven by observations. He wrote several pieces about wave mechanics; he also developed a new field theory. He developed the Theory of Matter and added some Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics. He is famous for his “Cat Analogy”. In 1933 he shared the Nobel prize in physics with the British physicist P.A.M. Dirac for new forms of the atomic theory.
