List of things named after Erwin Schrödinger

This is a list of things named after the Austrian theoretical physicist Erwin Schrödinger.

Quantum physics

• Einstein–Schrödinger equation, see Wheeler–DeWitt equation
• Schrödinger's cat, a thought experiment devised by Schrödinger that illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects
• Schrödinger equation, an equation formulated by Schrödinger that describes how the quantum state of a physical system changes in time
  • Schrödinger–Pauli equation
• Schrödinger field, a quantum field which obeys the Schrödinger equation
• Schrödinger–HJW theorem, a result about density matrices
• Schrödinger method, a method used to solve some problems of distribution and occupancy
• Schrödinger operator, see Hamiltonian (quantum mechanics)
• Schrödinger paradox, the paradox that living systems increase their organization despite the second law of thermodynamics
