Schrodinger vs. Heisenberg equation

Postby 105743571 » Tue Oct 19, 2021 10:56 am

What is the relationship between the two equations? And what does it mean when we say Schrodinger equation is to quantum mechanics as Newton’s 2nd law is to classical mechanics?

To address your first question, Heisenberg uncertainty says that you can't know both the momentum and velocity of an electron at the same time. This uncertainty in the path of an electron relates to Schrodinger wave functions. Schrodinger wave functions use the idea that electrons have wave properties and indeterminacy in momentum and position. Answers to the Schrodinger equation are the allowed energy states or orbitals of electrons.
