Schrödinger and Heisenberg are known to be two of the important founders of quantum mechanics. They both invented a mathematical formalism for quantum mechanics. Schrodinger's formalism which was based on the wave equation was the most popular one. Heisenberg's formalism was based on the notion of quantum jumps (the innate "randomness" of sub-atomic physics the very reason that the famous "Schrodinger's cat" is not alive or dead...). Heisenberg's formalism was innovative but more difficult to handle.
The difference on the formalism reflects their different views on the interpretation of quantum mechanics; Schrondinger was more a realist and he was sharing Einstein view that randomness is not desirable in the description of sub-atomic physics. Heisenberg on the other hand was more a supporter of the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics which interprets the sub-atomic randomness as an innate characteristic of the sub-atomic world and the very heart of quantum physics theory.

∙ 13y agoSchrodinger came up the Schrodinger Equation. Which is the foundation for quantum mechanics in its wave formulation.
Heisenberg is most famous for his uncertainty principle. Which basically says that certain parts of observables cannot be known simultaneously with an arbitrary precision.

Who said electrons are found in electron clouds not paths?
Bohr^ wrong. Werner Heisenberg/ Erwin Shrodinger did.So who did, Bohr or Schrodinger and Heisenberg?
Who discovered electrons travel in certain paths or energy levels?
He came up with his model of the hydrogen atom, containing this idea, in 1913. That's almost exactly 100 years ago. Neils Bohr came from Denmark and they will be celebrating this centenary, in Denmark.
Can not getting enough oxygen make you sleepy?
Yes, not getting enough oxygen can and will make you drowsy, also, not getting enough oxygen can cause brain damage. - Heisenberg
5 famous scientist in mechanics?

Which scientist envisioned the atom as a ball of postive charge with electrons embedded in it?
This is J. J. Thompson's model. I've heard it referred to as the 'plum pudding model', 'raisin pudding model', and 'chocolate chip cookie model'. You may learn more about J. J. Thompson at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_J_Thompson
Who has the greatest contribution in quantum mechanics among Heisenberg and Dirac and Schrodinger?
Heisenberg, Dirac and Schrodinger all made large combinations. Schrodinger is famous for his wave mechanics, Heisenberg for his matrix notation. Dirac realised that the theories of Heisenberg and Schrodinger were essentially the same. He also created the Dirac equation, an important step in the creation of a relativistic version of Quantum Mechanics.
What did schrodinger and heisenberg do?
they discovered theory's of atoms
Who discovered paths cannot be predicted?
Schrodinger and Heisenberg
Who developed the cloud?
it was mainly, Erwin Schrodinger & Werner Heisenberg.
Who developed a shooting gallery experiment?
Erwin Schrodinger and Werner Heisenberg
What did Schrodinger and heisenberg discover?
Schrödinger discovered that his cat was either alive or dead, but Heisenberg convinced him that he could not be certain.
Who are erwin schrodinger and werner heisenberg?
They were two co-founders of quantum mechanics
What contributions about modern atom theory did Schrodinger and Heisenberg make?
They had butt sex.
Who said electron paths cannot be predicted and when?
Schrodinger and Heisenberg state that electrons cannot be predicted in 1927. It was stated that the more precisely the position of some particles are determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known.
Who said electrons are found in electron clouds not paths?
Bohr^ wrong. Werner Heisenberg/ Erwin Shrodinger did.So who did, Bohr or Schrodinger and Heisenberg?
What year did Schrodinger and Heisenberg's discover the atom?
Schrödinger and Heisenberg did not discover the atom. Knowledge of the existence of atoms grew out of decades of research by many scientists, starting in the 1700s.
Who developed the current model of the atom?
Some well known scientists are Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Born, Bohr, etc.
