Schrödinger's equation marks 100 years of quantum insight
Original: 100 years ago, Schrödinger’s equation shed light on quantum physics – scientists use it today to fine-tune chemical reactions
One hundred years after Erwin Schrödinger formulated his famous equation, physicists and chemists are marking the anniversary of a breakthrough that underpins modern quantum mechanics. The equation describes how quantum systems evolve, and scientists today rely on it to model and fine-tune chemical reactions with remarkable precision. Commentators note that a century-old piece of mathematics remains a working tool across physics, chemistry and materials science.
Why now: The centenary of Schrödinger's equation is prompting reflection on its lasting role in quantum physics and modern chemistry.
