At the start of " State of Fear, " a beautiful, exotic woman ( instant movie element-- just add water ) visits a scientist at his wave mechanics laboratory just north of Paris.

In the wave mechanics formulation of QM, the wavefunction varies with space and time, or equivalently momentum and time ( see position and momentum space for details ), so observables are differential operators.
43.
:The first thing to understand about the path-integral approach to wave mechanics ( the one where you have a particle taking all possible paths ) is that it's not specific to quantum mechanics.

In May 1926, Schr�dinger proved that Heisenberg's matrix mechanics and his own wave mechanics made the same predictions about the properties and behaviour of the electron; mathematically, the two theories had an underlying common form.

He switched thesis advisors to John Archibald Wheeler some time in 1955, wrote a couple of short papers on quantum theory and completed his long paper, " Wave Mechanics Without Probability " in April 1956.

The wave mechanics of Erwin Schr�dinger ( 1926 ) involves the use of a mathematical entity, the wave function, which is related to the probability of finding a particle at a given point in space.

In the fall of 1926 he went to the University of Zurich to study and work with Erwin Schr�dinger, who had early in the year published his papers on his wave mechanics formulation of quantum mechanics.

Section 1 of the first of his four lectures on wave mechanics delivered in 1928 is titled " Derivation of the fundamental idea of wave mechanics from Hamilton's analogy between ordinary mechanics and geometrical optics ".

In his later career, de Broglie worked to develop a causal explanation of wave mechanics, in opposition to the wholly probabilistic models which dominate quantum mechanical theory; it was refined by David Bohm in the 1950s.
