Werner Heisenberg

Werner Karl Heisenberg (German: Werner Karl Heisenberg; December 5, 1901 - February 1, 1976) was a German physicist, one of the founders of quantum mechanics, and a representative figure of the "Copenhagen School". In 1933, Heisenberg won the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics for "the creation of quantum mechanics and the resulting discovery of the allotropes of hydrogen." His main contribution to physics is the matrix form of quantum mechanics (matrix mechanics), the "uncertainty principle" (also known as the "Heisenberg uncertainty principle") and the S matrix theory. His "Physical Principles of Quantum Theory" is a classic work in the field of quantum mechanics.
