One of the central equations in Quantum Physics is the Schrödinger equation.

The Schrodinger equation plays the role of Newton’s laws and conservation of energy in classical mechanics – i.e., it predicts the future behavior of a dynamic system.

It is a wave equation in terms of the wavefunction which predicts analytically and precisely the probability of events or outcome. The detailed outcome is not strictly determined, but given a large number of events, the Schrodinger equation will predict the distribution of results.
