Schrödinger equation
Description of a quantum-mechanical system
For a more general introduction to the topic, see Introduction to quantum mechanics.
The Schrödinger equation is a partial differential equation that governs the wave function of a non-relativistic quantum-mechanical system.[1]: 1–2 Its discovery was a significant landmark in the development of quantum mechanics.
It is named after Erwin Schrödinger, an Austrian physicist, who postulated the equation in 1925 and published it in 1926, forming the basis for the work that resulted in his Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933.[2][3]
Conceptually, the Schrödinger equation is the quantum counterpart of Newton's second law in classical mechanics.
Given a set of known initial conditions, Newton's second law makes a mathematical prediction as to what path a given physical system will take over time. The Schrödinger equation gives the evolution over time of the wave function, the q
