Study Notes

Quantum Mechanics

Erwin Schrödinger postulated the Schrödinger equation.
The Schrödinger equation is a mathematical equation that describes the time-evolution of a quantum system.
Werner Heisenberg introduced matrix mechanics as an alternative formulation of quantum mechanics.

Evolution of Quantum Systems

The Schrödinger equation provides the evolution over time of a quantum system.
It describes how the quantum state of a system changes over time.

Development of the Schrödinger Equation

Louis de Broglie's postulate, which stated that electrons exhibit wave-like behavior, contributed to the development of the Schrödinger equation.
De Broglie's postulate provided a fundamental idea that Schrödinger built upon to create his equation.
