Claim: Antony Valentini has been described as an "ardent admirer of de Broglie," which he emphasized that de Broglie, with the assistance of Erwin Schrödinger, a Nobel Prize-winning Austrian-Irish physicist, had constructed pilot-wave theory but later abandoned it in favor of quantum formalism.
Evidence: Valentini has been described as an "ardent admirer of de Broglie". He emphasized that de Broglie, with the assistance of Erwin Schrödinger, had constructed pilot wave theory, but later abandoned it in favor of quantum formalism. Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger (UK: /ˈʃrɜːdɪŋər/, US: /ˈʃroʊ-, ˈʃreɪ-/; German: [ˈɛɐ̯viːn ˈʃʁøːdɪŋɐ; 12 August 1887 – 4 January 1961), sometimes written as Erwin Schrodinger or Erwin Schroedinger, was a Nobel Prize-winning Austrian-Irish physicist who developed a number of fundamental results in quantum theory: the Schrödinger equation provides a way to calculate the wave function of a system and how it changes dynamically in time.
