The Schrödinger Equation serves as the foundation of quantum mechanics, describing the behavior of particles as waves from "summary" of Simply Quantum Physics by DK
The Schrödinger Equation lies at the heart of quantum mechanics, guiding our understanding of the behavior of particles on a microscopic scale. Developed by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1926, this equation revolutionized our perception of the quantum world by treating particles not as point-like objects but as waves. Rather than pinpointing the exact location of a particle at any given moment, the Schrödinger Equation describes the probability distribution of finding a particle in a particular state. This wave-like nature of particles defies classical intuition but has been experimentally verified time and time again through various quantum phenomena. The equation itself is a complex mathematical expression that takes into account the energy of a particle, the potential energy shaping its surroundings, and the time evolution of its wave function. It is a non-relativistic equation, ...
