This is a list of things named after the Austrian theoretical physicist Erwin Schrödinger.
Quantum physics

gollark: Here is our computer factory.
gollark: It's for a project on CodersNet to provide cheap computers to all! GTech partnered with "Microsoft".
gollark: No, it's actually just potatOS with the display settings tweaked slightly.
gollark: Also, check out the Microsoft PotatOS build.
gollark: It's solvable by computers easily, the key thing is just that they can't automatically read the output.
