The discussion focuses on locating the original publication of Schrödinger's equation, specifically seeking an English translation. A link to a summary article that encapsulates Schrödinger's six fundamental papers from 1926 is provided. The original papers are cited with their journal IDs, detailing their contributions to quantum mechanics. There is no available translation of these articles, but assistance with translating specific paragraphs may be offered. The evolution of the Schrödinger Equation from its original form in 1926 to its current representation is noted as an interesting point of discussion.

Could anyone one of you be able to provide me a link, or point me to the journal or article id,
in which Schroedinger first proposed his equation. (And I do not speak German so it would be better if it is somehow translated to English)

Thanks in advance.

The mentioned article is a summary article, which pretty much sums up the six fundamental papers written by Schrödinger in 1926.

The journal ids of the fundamental papers are the following:

• E. Schrödinger, Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem
(Erste Mitteilung), Ann. Phys. 79, 361-76 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem
(Zweite Mitteilung), Ann. Phys. 79, 489-527 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Der stetige Übergang von der Mikro-
zur Makromechanik, Die Naturwissenschaften, 14. Jahrg. Heft 28, S. 664-666 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Über das Verhältnis der Heisenberg-Born-Jordanschen
Quantenmechanik zu der meinen, Ann. Phys. 79, 734-56 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem
(Dritte Mitteilung), Ann. Phys. 80, 437-90 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem
(Vierte Mitteilung), Ann. Phys. 81, 109-39 (1926).

Unfortunately I am not able to provide you with a translation or a copy of these article. If you happen to find one of these papers I might be able to translate a few paragraphs, though.
 
Thanks to you both, I really appreciate it.
 
It's funny how different the Schrodinger Equation looked in 1926 versus today.
 
Time reversal invariant Hamiltonians must satisfy ##[H,\Theta]=0## where ##\Theta## is time reversal operator. However, in some texts (for example see Many-body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics an introduction, HENRIK BRUUS and KARSTEN FLENSBERG, Corrected version: 14 January 2016, section 7.1.4) the time reversal invariant condition is introduced as ##H=H^*##. How these two conditions are identical?
