List of things named after Erwin Schrödinger

This is a list of things named after the Austrian theoretical physicist Erwin Schrödinger.

Quantum physics

 * Einstein–Schrödinger equation, see Wheeler–DeWitt equation
 * Schrödinger's cat, a thought experiment devised by Schrödinger that illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects
 * Schrödinger equation, an equation formulated by Schrödinger that describes how the quantum state of a physical system changes in time
 * Schrödinger–Pauli equation
 * Schrödinger field, a quantum field which obeys the Schrödinger equation
 * Schrödinger–HJW theorem, a result about density matrices
 * Schrödinger method, a method used to solve some problems of distribution and occupancy
 * Schrödinger operator, see Hamiltonian (quantum mechanics)
 * Schrödinger paradox, the paradox that living systems increase their organization despite the Second Law of Thermodynamics
