In 1926, an Austrian physicist, Erwin Schrödinger (1887–1961; Nobel Prize in Physics, 1933), developed wave mechanics, a mathematical technique that describes the relationship between the motion of a particle that exhibits wavelike properties (such as an electron) and its allowed energies.
Explore the fundamentals of wave mechanics, including wave propagation, energy transfer, and vibrations, and discover their applications in telecommunications, medical diagnostics, seismology, and more.
Wave kinematics 2.1 What is a wave? A wave is a spatial form that translates in space while maintaining its shape. In general, a wave traveling in the x-direction can be represented by the function of the form f(˘), where ˘= x ct x 0, so that u(x;t) = f(x ct x 0); (2.1) where cand x
Other formulations of quantum mechanics include matrix mechanics, introduced by Werner Heisenberg, and the path integral formulation, developed chiefly by Richard Feynman. When these approaches are compared, the use of the Schrödinger equation is sometimes called "wave mechanics".

wave mechanics, quantum mechanics, especially that version originally developed (1926) by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger. See Schrödinger equation.
This is the (time-independent) Schrödinger wave equation, which established quantum mechanics in a widely applicable form. An important advantage of Schrödinger’s theory is that no further arbitrary quantum conditions need be postulated.
Lecture 1: Wave Mechanics. Description: In this lecture, the professor talked about “The Schrodinger Equation”, “Stationary Solutions”, etc. Instructor: Barton Zwiebach. Freely sharing knowledge with learners and educators around the world.
This course covers the experimental basis of quantum physics. It introduces wave mechanics, Schrödinger's equation in a single dimension, and Schrödinger's equation in three dimensions.
This new way of approaching the behavior of electrons (and other particles too) became known as wave mechanics or quantum mechanics. In order to familiarize you with some of the concepts and terminology of wave mechanics, we shall consider the simple, though somewhat artificial, example illustrated in Figure 1.
