SUMMARY

The original Schrödinger Equation was proposed in a series of six fundamental papers published by Erwin Schrödinger in 1926. Key publications include "Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem" (Ann. Phys. 79, 361-76), "Der stetige Übergang von der Mikro- zur Makromechanik" (Die Naturwissenschaften, 14. Jahrg. Heft 28, S. 664-666), and others, all of which are critical to understanding quantum mechanics. A summary article that encapsulates these works can be found at the provided link: Schrödinger 1926 Summary Article.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics fundamentals
  • Familiarity with Schrödinger's contributions to physics
  • Knowledge of academic journal citation formats
  • Basic proficiency in reading scientific literature
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the original papers by Erwin Schrödinger published in 1926
  • Explore translations of Schrödinger's works for better comprehension
  • Study the historical context of quantum mechanics development
  • Examine the evolution of the Schrödinger Equation from 1926 to present
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of quantum mechanics, historians of science, and anyone interested in the foundational concepts of quantum theory will benefit from this discussion.

Could anyone one of you be able to provide me a link, or point me to the journal or article id,
in which Schroedinger first proposed his equation. (And I do not speak German so it would be better if it is somehow translated to English)

Thanks in advance.

The mentioned article is a summary article, which pretty much sums up the six fundamental papers written by Schrödinger in 1926.

The journal ids of the fundamental papers are the following:

• E. Schrödinger, Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem
(Erste Mitteilung), Ann. Phys. 79, 361-76 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem
(Zweite Mitteilung), Ann. Phys. 79, 489-527 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Der stetige Übergang von der Mikro-
zur Makromechanik, Die Naturwissenschaften, 14. Jahrg. Heft 28, S. 664-666 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Über das Verhältnis der Heisenberg-Born-Jordanschen
Quantenmechanik zu der meinen, Ann. Phys. 79, 734-56 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem
(Dritte Mitteilung), Ann. Phys. 80, 437-90 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem
(Vierte Mitteilung), Ann. Phys. 81, 109-39 (1926).

Unfortunately I am not able to provide you with a translation or a copy of these article. If you happen to find one of these papers I might be able to translate a few paragraphs, though.
 
Thanks to you both, I really appreciate it.
 
It's funny how different the Schrödinger Equation looked in 1926 versus today.
