Erwin Schrödinger 50 Years After

Erwin Schrodinger (1887-1961) was an Austrian physicist famous for the equation named after him and which earned him the Nobel Prize in 1933. This book contains lectures presented at the international symposium ``Erwin Schrodinger --50 Years After'', held at the Erwin Schrodinger International Institute for Mathematical Physics in January 2011 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Schrodinger's death. The text covers a broad spectrum of topics ranging from personal reminiscences to foundational questions about quantum mechanics and historical accounts of Schrodinger's work. Besides the lectures presented at the symposium the volume also contains articles specially written for this occasion. The contributions give an overview of Schrodinger's legacy to the sciences from the standpoint of some contemporary leading scholars in the field.
