Influential Neils Bohr
Arnold Sommerfeld took Heisenberg to the Bohr Festival in Gottingen Germany, at which Bohr spoke an arrangement of lectures in the quantum atomic physics. This event played a big influential role during Heisenberg's career. (Encyclopedia-cc, 2014). -
Received Doctorate
Heisenberg earned his Ph. D. in Physics under the advisement of Arnold Sommerfeld at the University of Munich. (Famous Scientists). -
Quantum Mechanics- Formulation
Heisenberg published a seminal paper about quantum theoretical reinterpretation in September 1925. After publication Heisenberg, Pascual Jordan, and Max born developed the matrix mechanics formulation of quantum mechanics. Their development process was approximately 6 months in Göttingen, Germany. (Encyclopedia-cc, 2014) -
Created Mathematical Description of Atoms
When Heisenberg was 25 he “came up with a matrix based mathematical description of atoms that supported Bohr’s view, but classical physicists were unconvinced” (Enclyclopedia-cc, 2014). -
Uncertainty Principle
Also known as the Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, is what he is best know for and which contributed to his philosophy. "That the position and the velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly, at the same time, even in theory." (Beyler). -
The Foundation for Relativistic Field Quantum Theory
"Heisenberg and Pauli and Pauli submitted the first two papers laying the foundation for relativistic field quantum theory." (Encyclopedia-cc, 2014). -
Awarded Nobel Prize
At age 31 Werner Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the creation of quantum mechanics. (Beyler). -
Neutron-Proton Model of the Nucleus
After James Chadwick discovered the neutron, "Heisenberg submitted the first of three papers on his neutron-proton model of the nucleus". (Encyclopedia-cc, 2014). -
Theory of the Positron
Heisenberg present the theory of the positron and was further developed. (Beyler). -
Theory of Cosmic-Ray Showers
Heisenberg presented his theory of cosmic-ray showers. (Encyclopedia-cc, 2014) -
Throughout His Career Werner Heisenberg influenced the course of physics!
