Its Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger Birthday was born August 12, 1887 in Vienna and died January 4, 1961 is an Austrian physicist and scientific theorist. Imagining the evolution equation of the wave function associated with the state of a particle, it has allowed the development of the theoretical formalism of quantum mechanics. This wave equation, which takes into account both the quantification and non-relativistic energy, was later called the Schrödinger equation (for which he received, together with Paul Dirac, the Nobel Prize in Physics 1933) It is also known for having submitted the amazing experience of thought, later called the Schrödinger cat experiment, after extensive correspondence with Albert Einstein in 1935. He received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics at the University of Vienna in 1910. In 1920 he became assistant to Max Wien. In September, he was appointed Professor Ausserordentlicher and is fully tenured (Ordentlicher Professor) in 1921 in Breslau. In 1922, he attended the University of Zurich. In 1926, Schrödinger published an article in the Annals of Physics on the quantization problem eigenvectors, which becomes the Schrödinger equation. In 1927, he joined Max Planck at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Berlin. He entered the University of Oxford, will receive his Nobel Prize. In 1934, Schrödinger then lectures at Princeton University where he was offered a permanent position he declined. In 1935, Schrödinger imagine the cat paradox, which highlights the existing gap between the quantum world (where an object can be in multiple states at once) and the macroscopic world (deterministic). In 1940, he received an invitation to help establish an Institute for Advanced Studies Dublin, Ireland. He became director of the School of Theoretical Physics, where he remained in office for 17 years and is assigned the Irish. It publishes about 50 new articles on various topics, including his explorations of unified field theory. He was elected a foreign member of the Royal Society May 12, 1949. In 1944, he wrote What is life?, Which contains a discussion of negentropy and the concept of complex molecule with the genetic code of living organisms. According to the memoirs of James D. Watson, DNA, the Secret of Life, Schrödingers book gave Watson the inspiration to search for the gene, which led to the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. Photo Copyleft
