During discussions with Neils Bohr concerning the probability interpretation of his own Schrodinger's Equation, he firmly disagreed with Bohr and mainstream quantum mechanics and wrote: Let me say at the outset, that in this discourse, I am opposing not a few special statements of quantum mechanics held today (1950s), I am opposing as it were the whole of it.
The stationary one-dimensional version of Schrodinger's equation ([lambda] being a fixed value in R) -[psi]"(x) + V (x)[psi](x) = [lambda][psi](x), x [member of] R (1.
Schrodinger's equation is used to predict the outcome of events, the distribution of results.
