Heisenberg+B5

== =Werner Heisenberg= (5 December 1901 – 1 February 1976) He was a German physicist who was best known for his work in terms of the uncertainty principle (two physical properties like position and momentum can not both be known without the other becoming more unknown or less precise), of the quantum theory.

He attended the Maximilian School at Munich until 1920. Later in the winter in 1922 to 1923 he went to study physics under Max Born, Franck and Hilbert.

In 1924, Bohr arranged for a longer Copenhagen retreat for Heisenberg. Soon, tension grew between Heisenberg and Kramers, mostly due to competition for Bohr's attention and approval. Nevertheless, their research coincided on one point, and Bohr pushed them to write a joint paper on the topic. The paper advanced a quantum theory of dispersion, which treated light as a wave rather than as quanta. The theory made particular use of the virtual oscillators; the point was to show how they correspond to harmonics in classical theory.

He, Max Born, and Pascual Jordan created the matrix formulation of quantum mechanics in 1925.

In 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Heisenberg due to his concept if the quantum mechanics and the applications of it thereafter (which would lead to discoveries of allotropic forms of hydrogen.
