He discovered the basic dynamic equation of the theory, the Schrödinger equation. He developed methods for applying that equation, methods that form the core of what we now call wave mechanics.¹ He was also one of the most persistent and eloquent critics of the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, the “Copenhagen interpretation.” His 1936 analysis of compound quantum systems made precise the interpretational challenge raised by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen in their famous 1935 paper on the completeness of quantum theory.² And even now, amidst the recent revival of}, author = {Linda Wessels}, booktitle = {Springs of Scientific Creativity: Essays on Founders of Modern Science}, edition = {NED - New edition}, pages = {254--278}, publisher = {University of Minnesota Press}, title = {Erwin Schrödinger and the Descriptive Tradition}, year = {1983} }
