@mrossinek Done |
I have signed CLA but I guess @mrossinek it is not showing up I don't know why |
The CLA shows signed in the checks below. Above there are two comments from the CLA, 2 days ago, - one says it not signed, presumably before you signed, and the other says its signed (quite why that one is before the other I am not sure, but I have seen that in the past) - so it does seem to me its signed. |
Yep I have signed prior to this as well for Translation and other merge |
Earlier when I commented both comments were listed as As to why there are two comments to begin with and one of them does not update is still a mystery to me. We will look into that separately though, regardless of this PR 👍 |
Oh I just noticed now that you made this PR against the stable branch and not main.. Will port this to main manually now 👍 |

Summary
In the tutorial https://qiskit.org/ecosystem/nature/tutorials/01_electronic_structure.html Schroedinger was wrongly written
The correction of "schroedinger" to "Schrödinger" is important for several reasons. First and foremost, it is about giving proper recognition and respect to the scientist by using the correct spelling of his name.
Furthermore, the correction highlights the significance of Erwin Schrödinger's work in quantum mechanics. His formulation of wave mechanics, which is described by the Schrödinger equation, provided a mathematical framework to describe the behavior of quantum systems. The Schrödinger equation is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics that describes the time evolution of a quantum state.

Using an Umlaut over O is conventional and more appropriate
Details and comments
In summary, the correction from "schroedinger" to "Schrödinger" is justified based on proper naming conventions, respect for the individual, accuracy in scientific communication, recognition of historical and scientific significance
