Tracing the origins of Schrödinger equation
This blog aims to trace historical and scientific origins of Schrödinger equation, focusing on its development from hydrogen atom model. Initially, attempts were made to derive a relativistic equation for the hydrogen atom, but eventually, a nonrelativistic approach was adopted instead. By combining principles from Hamiltonian mechanics, Erwin Schrödinger successfully formulated the final Schrödinger equation. Through this exploration, we could gain a deeper understanding of the scientific advancements and conceptual breakthroughs that led to the creation of the Schrödinger equation, shedding light on its profound impact on the field of quantum mechanics....
