Scientist

Werner Heisenberg

1901–1976 · Quantum mechanics, Nuclear physics
German theoretical physicist, one of the creators of quantum mechanics. He formulated the matrix version of quantum theory and the famous uncertainty principle, which states that it is impossible to simultaneously measure the exact position and momentum of a particle. He contributed to nuclear theory, quantum electrodynamics, and particle physics.

Biography

Born in Würzburg. Studied at the University of Munich, worked with Niels Bohr, Max Born, Pascual Jordan. Professor in Leipzig, director of the Max Planck Institute for Physics. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for the creation of quantum mechanics.

Key discoveries

💡 Heisenberg was a talented pianist and seriously agonized between a career as a musician and a physicist.
"He said that the first gulp from the goblet of natural science makes one an atheist, but at the bottom, God awaits."

Climate Networks: How El Niño Snaps Invisible Threads
A hammock woven from thousands of cords is stretched between continents. Each cord is a link between two points on the planet: when it warms in one place, it cools in another, day after day. As long as the hammock holds, it keeps the climate in its familiar rhythm. But every few years El Niño arrives, a warm current off the coast of Peru, and the cords begin to snap.

How Quantum Sensors Conquer Their Own Noise
A quantum sensor is like a telegraph line transmitting a hypersensitive message. The slightest disturbance distorts the signal. It used to be thought that accurate measurement required an error-free 'telegraphist' — a perfect error-correction system. But in practice, all elements are noisy. The new approach allows for errors at every step: in sending, verification, and reception.

How the Milky Way's Wind Tears Apart Clouds
A hair dryer aimed at a block of ice strips vapor and droplets from its surface, and the ice slowly melts. The wind from the center of our Galaxy works in much the same way: it picks up cold gas clouds and carries them away, heating and shredding them along the way. Astronomers decided to systematically search this flow for molecules, the coldest and densest form of gas, for the first time.

A laser beam is like a taut string: even in complete silence, it trembles almost imperceptibly. This trembling is quantum noise, and it gets in the way of ultra-precise measurements. Physicists have long sought ways to calm the string, and one of them is "squeezing" light: reducing the trembling in one direction while allowing it to increase in another.
