Schrödinger's famous wave equation was based on work done by Louis de Broglie. He shared his Nobel Prize with Paul Dirac. The classic Schrodinger's Cat paradox originated in his 1935 paper, The Present Situation in Quantum Mechanics. Schrödinger also worked on unified field theory, general relativity and meson (particle) physics.
