Werner Heisenberg’s “Quantum-theoretical Re-interpretation of Kinematic and Mechanical Relations,” the first mathematically consistent formulation of quantum mechanics; and Max Born’s and ...

In 1927, Werner Heisenberg was in Denmark working at Niels Bohr's research institute in Copenhagen. The two scientists worked closely on theoretical investigations into quantum theory and the ...

Heisenberg, Max Born and Pascual Jordan — Paul Dirac made independent contributions — expanded the approach into what would become known as the matrix-mechanics formulation of quantum mechanics.

By the end of the year the physicist Werner Heisenberg had calculated that nuclear fission chain reactions might be possible. When slowed down and controlled in a "uranium machine" (nuclear ...
