Heisenberg and the early days of quantum mechanics. Recollections of the days, 50 years ago, when a handful of students in the “entirely useless” field of physics heard of a strange new mechanics invented by Maurice de Broglie, Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger. Felix Bloch.
Felix Bloch (23 October 1905 – 10 September 1983) was a Swiss-American physicist and Nobel physics laureate who worked mainly in the U.S. [1] He and Edward Mills Purcell were awarded the 1952 Nobel Prize for Physics for "their development of new ways and methods for nuclear magnetic precision measurements."
