Schrödinger Equation

Quantum physics provides the basis to understand the entire universe. The study of quantum mechanics always begins with the non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The entire non-relativistic quantum mechanics centres around Schrödinger equation. The wide range of applications of Schrödinger equation is simply amazing. These include a number of different areas such as atomic physics, chemistry, and solid state physics. Schrödinger developed this equation in 1926.

How do we derive Schrödinger equation? The simple and straight answer is that Schrödinger equation cannot be derived or deduced from any other fundamental principles. However, one can provide a set of arguments leading to the formulation of Schrödinger equation. Each ...
