Werner Karl Heisenberg ( pronounced [ˈvɛʁnɐ kaʁl ˈhaɪzn̩bɛʁk] ⓘ; 5 December 1901 – 1 February 1976) [2] 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, German physicist and philosopher who discovered (1925) a way to formulate quantum mechanics in terms of matrices. For that discovery, he was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize for Physics.
Biographical. Werner Heisenberg was born on 5th December, 1901, at Würzburg. He was the son of Dr. August Heisenberg and his wife Annie Wecklein. His father later became Professor of the Middle and Modern Greek languages in the University of Munich.
Werner Heisenberg was a German theoretical physicist famous for his uncertainty principle and his work on nuclear fission.
Werner Karl Heisenberg. The Nobel Prize in Physics 1932. Born: 5 December 1901, Würzburg, Germany. Died: 1 February 1976, Munich, West Germany (now Germany) Affiliation at the time of the award: Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany.
Heisenberg’s main focus of work in the late 1930s was high-energy cosmic rays, for which he proposed a theory of “explosion showers,” in which multiple particles were produced in a single process, in contrast to the “cascade” theory principally favoured by British and American physicists.
Heisenberg is perhaps best known for the Uncertainty Principle, discovered in 1927, which states that determining the position and momentum of a particle necessarily contains errors the product of which cannot be less than the quantum constant ℏ.
Werner Karl Heisenberg (December 5, 1901 – February 1, 1976) was a celebrated German physicist and Nobel laureate, one of the founders of quantum mechanics, and acknowledged to be one of the most important physicists of the twentieth century.
Dec 4, 2015 · Werner Karl Heisenberg was a German Theoretical Physicist who studied quantum mechanics (not to be confused with the drug mastermind from Albuquerque ). He is best known for his Uncertainty Principle, which describes the fundamental limit to the accuracy of which the momentum and position of a particle can be measured.

German physicist Werner Heisenberg was a leader in physics, winning the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the uncertainty principle, which states that it is impossible to specify the exact position and momentum of a particle (tiny piece of matter) at the same time.
