Erwin Schrödinger
Erwin Schrödinger was an Austrian physicist best known for his contributions to quantum mechanics, particularly the Schrödinger equation, which describes how the quantum state of a physical system changes over time. His work established the wave mechanics formulation of quantum theory, earning him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933.
Born on Aug 12, 1887 (137 years old)
