Erwin Schrödinger received the Physics Nobel Prize.
Over the course of his life, Erwin Schrödinger won a considerable deal of honors. One of the interesting facts about Erwin Schrödinger is that despite the numerous honorary degrees and other medals he obtained for his dedication, the Nobel Prize for Physics he received in 1933 was the most meaningful recognition he ever received.
Schrödinger quit his job in Zurich in 1927 to take a new, distinguished position at the University of Berlin, where he met Albert Einstein. He remained in this role until 1933, choosing to resign when the Nazi Party rose to power and Jewish residents began to face discrimination. Schrödinger and fellow quantum theorist Paul A.M. Dirac shared the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics, which they received soon after Schrödinger began teaching at Oxford University in England. He said in his acceptance speech that his mentor, Fritz Hasenöhrl, would have received the award had he not tragically perished in the First World War.
Because of his creation of the Schrödinger equation, Erwin Schrödinger received the Physics Nobel Prize in 1933. He also won the Max Planck Medal, Austrian Decoration for Science and Art, and the Erwin Schrödinger Prize from the Austrian Academy of Sciences, among other honors. In 1949, he was a Royal Society Elected Foreign Member. In his honor, the cat known as Schrödinger's was named.
After spending three years at Oxford, Schrödinger traveled and worked abroad, among them in Austria at the University of Graz. Eamon de Valera, the Irish Prime Minister, extended an invitation to him in 1939 so that he could lead the School for Theoretical Physics at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Dublin, Ireland. Prior to moving back to Vienna in 1956 to continue working at his alma mater, he lived in Dublin until the middle of the 1950s.
