Erwin Schrödinger was an Austrian theoretical physicist who died in 1961 and was best known for the Schrödinger equation, which describes how a system's wave function changes over time. He shared the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics with Paul Dirac and coined the term "quantum entanglement." Alongside his physics, he wrote What Is Life?, which looks at genetics from a physicist's standpoint, and My View of the World, a book of philosophical and popular science essays.
