Erwin Schrödinger

Erwin Schrödinger
Die vorliegende Web-Ausstellung gibt einen auszugsweisen Einblick in das Leben und Schaffen von Erwin Schrödinger. Die Web-Präsentation basiert auf der biographischen Ausstellung "Erwin Schrödinger. Zum 100. Geburtstag" der Zentralbibliothek für Physik in Wien. Sie versteht sich als Reminiszenz an Erwin Schrödinger und als Beitrag zu Wissenschaft und Kultur im Internet. Durch die Veröffentlichung im World Wide Web soll die Möglichkeit geschaffen werden, ausgewählte und teilweise einzigartige Bilder und Dokumente dieser Ausstellung weltweit zugänglich zu machen.

Erwin Schrödinger
Erwin Schrödinger wurde am 12.August 1887 in Wien geboren und starb am 4.Januar 1961 in Alpbach.
Als Schrödinger auf die Anfang 1925 publizierte Doktorarbeit Louis de Broglies und auf Einsteinsche Arbeiten zur Bosestatistik aufmerksam geworden war, wollte er "Ernst machen mit der de Broglie-Einsteinschen Undulationstheorie der bewegten Korpuskel, nach welcher dieselbe nichts weiter als eine Art 'Schaumkamm' auf einer den Weltgrund bildenden Wellenstrahlung ist'.
Nachdem er die neuen Gedanken zunächst auf die Gastheorie angewandt hatte, übertrug er sie Anfang November 1925 auf das einzelne Atom. Die Intensität, mit der Schrödinger an dem Problem arbeitete, verstärkte sich, als er sah, daß er einer 'neuen Atomtheorie' auf die Spur gekommen war, und erreichte einen Höhepunkt während seines Winterurlaubs in Arosa.

Erwin Schrödinger
Physicist, born in Vienna. He taught at Stuttgart, Breslau, Zürich, Berlin, Oxford (1933-8), and Dublin (1940-56), after which he retired to Vienna. He originated the study of the wave behaviour of matter within quantum mechanics with his celebrated wave equation (1926), which is as important to science at the subatomic level as Newton's laws of motion are to mechanics in the normal-size world.

Erwin Schrödinger
Erwin Schrödinger was the Nobel Prize winning Austrian Physicist who first hypothesized the "Cat Paradox" that we now reverently call "Schrödinger's Cat."  During his life from 1887 to 1961, Schrödinger made many advancements in quantum sciences.  Here is a look at the accomplishments of this great mind in our world's history.

Erwin Schrödinger
Erwin Schrodinger (1887-1961) was an Austrian physicist who became famous as the person who first studied wave mechanics. Schrodinger produced equations about undulation that explained the behavior of electrons in atoms. These equations formed the basis of wave mechanics, as well as allowing for the development of quantum mechanics. The advancements he led earned him the 1933 Nobel Prize for Physics.

Erwin Schrödinger
Dan Thomas - thomas@chembio.uoguelph.ca
During this fall of 1925, Erwin Schrödinger was a visitor in the laboratory of Peter Debye in Switzerland. Debye had heard of de Broglie's thesis and asked Schrödinger if he would lead a discussion at one of their regularly scheduled group meetings on the subject. He agreed, and this time, as he worked with the concepts, he soon became an ardent fan, and led a strongly favorable presentation of these ideas in the meeting. Debye, speaking with him afterwards, was cool towards the general ideas and stated that if anything is ever going to come of it someone would need to write down a wave equation for matter.

Schrödinger, Erwin (1887-1961)
Austrian physicist who invented wave mechanics in 1926. Wave mechanics was an independent formulation of Quantum Mechanics to Heisenberg's Matrix Mechanics . Like Matrix Mechanics , wave mechanics mathematically described the behavior of Electrons and Atoms . The central equation of wave mechanics, now known as the Schrödinger Equation , turned out to be much simpler for physicists to solve in most cases.

Schrödinger, Erwin
Schrödinger's mathematical description of electron waves superseded matrix mechanics, developed 1925 by Max Born and Werner Heisenberg, which also described the structure of the atom mathematically but, unlike wave mechanics, gave no picture of the atom. It was later shown that wave mechanics is equivalent to matrix mechanics.

Schrödinger
Erwin Schrödinger's father Rudolf Schrödinger ran a small linoleum factory which he had inherited from his own father. Erwin's mother, Emily Bauer, was half English, this side of the family coning from Leamington Spa, and half Austrian with her father coming from Vienna. He entered the Akademisches Gymnasium in the autumn of 1898, rather later than was usual since he spent a long holiday in England around the time he might have entered the school. He wrote later about his time at the Gymnasium:-

I was a good student in all subjects, loved mathematics and physics, but also the strict logic of the ancient grammars, hated only memorising incidental dates and facts. Of the German poets, I loved especially the dramatists, but hated the pedantic dissection of this works.

Schrödinger
Schrödinger was a student at Vienna from 1906 and taught there for ten years from 1910 to 1920 with a break for military service in World War I. He went to Zurich in 1921 where he made very important contributions to wave mechanics and the general theory of relativity in a series of papers in 1926. Wave mechanics, proposed by Schrödinger in these papers, was the second formulation of quantum theory, the first being matrix mechanics due to Heisenberg. Schrödinger was awarded the Nobel prize for this work in 1933.

The Schrödinger Equation
C. David Sherrill  - sherrill@alum.mit.edu
In 1925, Erwin Schrödinger and Werner Heisenberg independently developed the new quantum theory. Schrödinger's method involves partial differential equations, whereas Heisenberg's method employs matrices; however, a year later the two methods were shown to be mathematically equivalent. Most textbooks begin with Schrödinger's equation, since it seems to have a better physical interpretation via the classical wave equation. Indeed, the Schrödinger equation can be viewed as a form of the wave equation applied to matter waves.

Erwin Schrödinger: Geist und Materie
"Vor ungefähr zehn Jahren (1948) - in einer Arbeit, die in den 'Acta Physika Austriaca' erschienen ist - lenkte ich die Aufmerksamkeit auf zwei sehr allgemeine Prinzipien, welche unserer naturwissenschaftlichen Denkweise zugrunde liegen: das Prinzip der 'Verständlichkeit der Natur' und das Prinzip der 'Objektivierung'. Ich habe mir vorgenommen, hier das zweite Prinzip zu erörtern, welches ich 'Objektivierung' genannt habe.
Damit meine ich genau dasselbe, was auch oftmals die 'Hypothese der realen Außenwelt' genannt wird. Ich behaupte, es handelt sich dabei um eine gewisse Vereinfachung, die wir einführen, um das unerhört verwickelte 'Problem der Natur' zu meistern. Ohne es uns ganz klarzumachen und ohne dabei immer ganz streng folgerichtig zu sein, schließen wir das 'Subjekt der Erkenntnis' aus aus dem Bereich dessen, was wir an der Natur verstehen wollen. Wir treten mit unserer Person zurück in die Rolle eines Zuschauers, der nicht zur Welt gehört, welch letztere eben dadurch zu einer 'objektiven' Welt wird."
