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.

Werner Heisenberg was a German theoretical physicist famous for his uncertainty principle and his work on nuclear fission.
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.
