In 1922, he went to the Zürich University. In 1926, Schrödinger published in the Annalen der Physik the paper "Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem" [tr. Quantisation as an Eigenvalue Problem] over wave mechanics and what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. In 1927, he followed Max Planck in Berlin to the Humboldt-University. In 1933, Schrödinger term limited, he became the Fellow of Magdalen College, University of Oxford. In 1933, he received the Nobel Prize together with Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac.
