Werner Heisenberg
Werner Karl Heisenberg is a German theoretical physicist and one of the important pioneers of quantum mechanics. He published his work in 1925 in a groundbreaking article. In the next series of articles by Max Born and Pascual Jordan, the same year, the matrix formulation of quantum mechanics was considerably perfected. He is known for the Uncertainty Principle, which he published in 1927. Heisenberg was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the creation of quantum mechanics". Heisenberg also made important contributions in the hydrodynamics of turbulent flow, atomic nuclei, ferromagnetic, cosmic rays and subatomic particles. He was a senior scientist in Germany's nuclear weapons program during World War II. He was also credited with planning the construction of West Germany's first nuclear reactor in Karlsruhe, as well as a research reactor in Munich, in 1957.
