MEDIAPRINT ERWIN SCHRODINGER AND THE QUANTUM REVOLUTION

Erwin Schrödinger was an Austrian physicist, famous for his contributions to quantum physics. He won the Nobel Prize in 1933 and is best known for his 'cat in the box' experiment, which was both alive and dead at the same time, revealing the paradoxical nature of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger worked in the most prosperous period in the entire history of science. In 1906, by the time he began his university studies, Einstein had meanwhile published his revolutionary paper on the theory of relativity. Now the baton of scientific progress was being passed to a new generation: Werner Heisenberg, Paul Dirac, Nils Bohr and Schrödinger himself. In this gripping biography, John Gribbin takes us to the heart of the quantum revolution. It tells us the story of Schrödinger's colorful life. In an interesting and easy-to-understand style, he manages to explain the fascinating world of quantum mechanics, which is the foundation of all modern science.
