(shrÅ'dÄ­ng-Ér, shrÄ'-) Austrian physicist who founded the study of wave mechanics when he developed a mathematical equation that describes the wavelike behavior of subatomic particles. SchrÃ¶dinger's equation was fundamental to Paul Dirac's development of quantum mechanics, and he and Dirac shared the Nobel Prize for physics in 1933. Our Living Language : SchrÃ¶dinger's cat is a thought experiment proposed by the physicist and philosopher Erwin SchrÃ¶dinger.
