The Erwin Schrödinger Lecture is an annual event named after the noted Austrian scientist Erwin Schrödinger (1887–1961). Schrödinger was a theoretical physicist and a significant contributor to the wave theory of matter, a form of quantum physics. He mathematically devised an equation of wave mechanics that bears his name. He was a co-recipient of the 1933 Nobel Prize for physics. Today he is popularly known for the paradox of Schrödinger’s Cat.

This year’s lecturer will be Professor Alain Aspect, Research Director of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in France. In 2010 he and his colleagues Anton Zeilinger (Austria) and John Clauser (USA) were awarded the prestigious Wolf Prize in physics.
