- **Explanation**: Schrödinger’s equation is fundamental to quantum mechanics, describing how the quantum state of a system evolves over time. Schrödinger is also famous for his thought experiment known as **Schrödinger's cat**, where a hypothetical cat can be in both "alive" and "dead" states simultaneously until observed. This experiment illustrates the concept of quantum superposition and highlights the paradoxes in interpreting quantum mechanics.

- **Contribution**: Schrödinger is known for his contribution to quantum mechanics theory, particularly through introducing the wave function, which provides a probabilistic description of particle behavior.
