BIOGRAPHY
 Borned
on August 12, 1887, in Wien.
 The only son of well-educated
parents.
 He attended the University of Wien.
 PhD in physics and a position with
the university.
 A chair in theoretical physics at the
University of Zurich in Switzerland in
1921.
 In
1926, he published the wave
equation that he created.
 In
1927, he began to work at
University of Berlin.
 In
1933, he began to work at Oxford
University and share the Nobel Prize
with Paul Dirac.
 In
1938, he began to work at Institute
for Advanced Studies in Dublin.
 In
1956, he returned to Wien.
 In
1961, he died.
Schrödinger’s Atomic Model
 Electron
arrangement around the
nuclei of atoms.
 The electron is a wave.
 An electron can be found in a given
region of space at a given time.
 This model tells us where the
electron might be.
 Later,
he did the Schöringer’s cat
thought experiment to explain it.
 Schrödinger's
model allowed the
electron to occupy three-dimensional
space.
 The
principal (n), angular (l), and
magnetic (m) quantum numbers.
Each electron shell is made up of a number
of subshells.
 The number of subshells in a shell is the
same as the shell number.

These subshells can be subdivided into
orbitals.
 Each orbital is a distinct region.
 Each orbital can contain max. 2 electrons.
 He generated an equation:

 The
first person to write down such a
wave equation.
 Shows
all of the wave like properties
of matter and was one of greatest
achievements of 20th century
science.
 Used
in physics and most of
chemistry to deal with problems
about atomic structure.
Schrödinger's Cat
 On
June 7 of 1935, he published the
Schöringer’s cat thought experiment
that is the most famous paradoxes in
quantum theory:
 The
cat's fate is tied to the wave
function of the atom.
 The
atom is in a superposition of
decayed and undecayed states.
 Thus,
the cat must itself be in a
superposition of dead and alive
states.
 This
experiment is called quantum
indeterminacy or the observer's
paradox.
 The
observation or measurement
itself affects an outcome.
 There
is no single outcome unless it
is observed
