Schrödinger's equation marks 100 years of shaping quantum science
Original: 100 years ago, Schrödinger’s equation shed light on quantum physics – scientists use it today to fine-tune chemical reac
A century has passed since Erwin Schrödinger formulated his wave equation, a founding pillar of quantum mechanics. Marking the anniversary, scientists highlight how the equation remains central to modern research, used today to model atoms and molecules and to fine-tune chemical reactions with precision. Commentators are reflecting on how a single piece of 1926 mathematics still underpins chemistry, materials science and emerging quantum technologies.
Why now: The centenary of the equation's publication is prompting scientists and writers to reassess its lasting impact.
