    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_quantum_mechanics

    Building on de Broglie's approach, modern quantum mechanics was born in 1925, when the German physicists Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and Pascual Jordan [41] [42] developed matrix mechanics and the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger invented wave mechanics and the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation as an approximation of the generalised ...

    Portrait of Paul Dirac by Clara Ewald, 1939. Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac (/ d ɪ ˈ r æ k / dih-RAK; 8 August 1902 – 20 October 1984) was an English theoretical physicist who is considered to be one of the founders of quantum mechanics.

  6. Matrix mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_mechanics

    Matrix mechanics is a formulation of quantum mechanics created by Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, and Pascual Jordan in 1925. It was the first conceptually autonomous and logically consistent formulation of quantum mechanics.

  7. Mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_formulation...

    The phenomenology of quantum physics arose roughly between 1895 and 1915, and for the 10 to 15 years before the development of quantum mechanics (around 1925) physicists continued to think of quantum theory within the confines of what is now called classical physics, and in particular within the same mathematical structures.

  8. Introduction to quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_quantum...

    Quantum mechanics is the study of matter and its interactions with energy on the scale of atomic and subatomic particles.By contrast, classical physics explains matter and energy only on a scale familiar to human experience, including the behavior of astronomical bodies such as the moon.

    Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (/ ˈ p l æ ŋ k /; [2] German: [maks ˈplaŋk] ⓘ; [3] 23 April 1858 – 4 October 1947) was a German theoretical physicist whose discovery of energy quanta won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918.
