- **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.

6. **Paul Dirac** (1928) ➕➖
- **Formula**: \( (i \gamma^\mu \partial_\mu - m)\psi = 0 \)

- **Formula**:

$\color{green} {\huge (i \gamma^\mu \partial_\mu - m)\psi = 0 }$

- **Explanation**: Dirac's equation unifies quantum mechanics with relativity, predicting the existence of antiparticles, such as the positron.

- **Contribution**: A pioneer in quantum field theory, and among the first to propose a connection between quantum mechanics and relativity.

7. **John von Neumann** (1932) 📐
8. **John von Neumann** (1932) 📐
- **Formula**: \( \langle \psi | \hat{A} | \psi \rangle \)
- **Explanation**: Von Neumann established the mathematical foundation of quantum mechanics, including measurement theory and the concept of operators.
