Erwin Schrodinger (1887 – 1961) was a theoretical physicist. He was known as the father of quantum mechanics. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933 for the significant contributions in physics. In 1935 he proposed the "Schrodinger's Cat" experiment corresponding with his personal friend Albert Einstein.
