Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the original publication of the Schrödinger Equation, specifically seeking references to the journal articles in which Schrödinger first proposed his equation. The scope includes historical context and references to foundational papers in quantum mechanics.

Discussion Character

  • Historical, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests a link or reference to the original article where Schrödinger proposed his equation, expressing a preference for English translations.
  • Another participant provides a link to a summary article that encapsulates six fundamental papers written by Schrödinger in 1926.
  • A third participant lists the journal IDs of the six fundamental papers authored by Schrödinger, detailing their titles and publication information.
  • One participant expresses an inability to provide translations of the original papers but offers to translate a few paragraphs if a copy is found.
  • A later reply comments on the differences in the appearance of the Schrödinger Equation from 1926 to the present day.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the identification of the original papers but do not reach a consensus on the availability of translations or copies of the articles.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of available translations for the original papers and the dependence on the specific journal articles for accurate historical reference.

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.
