Werner Karl Heisenberg (pronounced [ˈvɛʁnɐ kaʁl ˈhaɪzn̩bɛʁk] ⓘ; 5 December 1901 – 1 February 1976) was a German theoretical physicist, one of the main pioneers of the theory of quantum mechanics, and a principal scientist in the Nazi nuclear weapons program during World War II.
Werner Heisenberg (born December 5, 1901, Würzburg, Germany—died February 1, 1976, Munich, West Germany) was a German physicist and philosopher who discovered (1925) a way to formulate quantum mechanics in terms of matrices. For that discovery, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for 1932.
Learn about the life and achievements of Werner Heisenberg, the German physicist who developed quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle. Find out his biography, awards, publications, and contributions to atomic and plasma physics.
Learn about the life and achievements of Werner Heisenberg, the German physicist who formulated the quantum uncertainty principle and worked on nuclear fission. Find out how he survived the Nazi regime and the atomic bomb project.
Werner Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Prize for creating quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of atoms and molecules. He also proposed the uncertainty principle, which limits the accuracy of measuring position and velocity of a particle.
Heisenberg reviews the historical and theoretical development of quantum mechanics, from Planck's law to Bohr's principle of correspondence. He explains the concept of matrices and the uncertainty principle as the basis of quantum mechanics.
Learn about the life and achievements of Werner Heisenberg, the German physicist who created quantum mechanics and won the Nobel Prize in 1932. Explore his contributions to the formulation, development and interpretation of quantum mechanics, as well as his role in the Uranverein and the postwar reconstruction of West Germany.
