Every time he finished explaining, little Erwin would ask him, “Teacher, do you really believe that?”

They were never religious at home, and only went to church for funerals, memorials and other special occasions when their friends expected them to do so. He loved mathematics and physics, but also the logic of ancient languages, and hated dates and dates that had to be memorised.

“My guardian angel intervened … I had to stay with theoretical physics, and to my great amazement, sometimes something even came out of it.”

So he spent a short time at the University of Jena, and a little time in Stuttgart and Wroclaw, before spending six years at the University of Zurich, where Einstein had preceded him. In the words of the British foreign secretary Lord Halifax, who was then chancellor of Oxford, von Ribbentrop viewed Schrödinger as a “fanatical opponent” of the Nazi regime.

Lotte was the sister of his best friend Tonio Rella, with whose family he spent a lot of time, although it was also a time when he went to the theatre a lot, immersed himself in Gustav Klimt’s erotic paintings and absorbed how Klimt tried to capture the “feeling of femininity” in his images.

Later in life, Erwin was constantly trying to penetrate the essence of female sensuality.

In this he was like his father, a chemist by training. * Soon after they arrived in Oxford, Schrödinger heard that, for his work on wave mechanics, he had been awarded the Nobel prize. I would have liked the author to explore more fully Schrödinger’s motivations, but Clary skates over the subject, merely noting that he was “naïve”.

While in Austria, Schrödinger tried to keep up his ties with Oxford, and there was even a suggestion of him coming back to deliver a series of summer lectures.

It seemed to him that theorists were too closed in their own circles and only talked among themselves.

A trip to England would, von Ribbentrop claimed, let Schrödinger “resume his anti-German activities”.

With life growing more difficult for Schrödinger, he wrote a letter to his local newspaper in Graz, suddenly claiming great support for the Nazis. * On the personal side Schrödinger had two further daughters while in Dublin, to two different Irish women.

* Here Hilde became pregnant with Schrödinger's child. He assured her that she would not get pregnant. * From Rome, Schrödinger went back to Oxford, and there he received an offer of a one year visiting professorship at the University of Gent. Schrödinger later admitted to Einstein that the letter was “cowardly”, and Clary suggests he may have written it so he could travel to Berlin for the 80th-birthday celebrations of Max Plank.

Having examined Schrödinger’s life so forensically, Clary should, in my view, have addressed his behaviour head-on. He was one of those who had always done well and yet constantly feared poverty.

Quite unnecessarily. The loss of Felice cut him deeply. This was also the most active period of his life, because it was then that he completed his major work in quantum mechanics.

When Max Planck retired in Berlin in 1927, Planck persuaded him to succeed him.

He tried to capture it by experiencing sensuality with and through women. So he ended up marrying the much younger Anny Bertel, treating her as an excellent housekeeper. Erwin often visited Einstein at his summer house on Lake Schwiel in Potsdam. Now, for the first time, life was really fun: Berlin was a centre of theoretical and experimental research and he shared his days with Planck, Einstein and Max von Laue.

He and Einstein became good friends.
