Just 100 years ago, on 9 July 1925, Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to his friend, colleague and fiercest critic, Wolfgang ...

Left: The first lines of the letter sent by Werner Heisenberg to Wolfgang Pauli on 9 July 1925, explaining his efforts to interpret quantum physics ...

Orthodox quantum mechanics is empirically flawless, but founded on an awkward interface between quantum systems and classical ...

One hundred years ago, Werner Heisenberg retreated to the island of Helgoland, where he built the foundations of the first full formulation of quantum mechanics. Finding its matrices repugnant, Erwin ...

The takeaway from Helgoland 2025 was that the foundations of quantum mechanics, though strongly built on Helgoland 100 years ...

It also appears to be the case that the term “ Copenhagen Interpretation ” was at first attributed to Werner Heisenberg from his series of lectures in the 1950’s opposing the new “upstart ...

Your special issue on quantum theory took me back to 1974, when I had the honour of shaking Werner Heisenberg’s hand. He was guest of honour at the new Heisenberg Gymnasium in Dortmund, Germany ...

In 1941, German physicist Werner Heisenberg met his Danish colleague Niels Bohr in Copenhagen to discuss, in part, the development of the atomic bomb. What else did the two Nobel-Prize winners speak ...

In 1925, almost six years to the day since he sat on a rooftop reading Timaeus, Werner Heisenberg found that the model he developed would explain the behaviour of atomic spectra not just for ...

Empa researchers have experimentally recreated a fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, originally proposed by Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg. The experiment was based on "quantum ...

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

Empa researchers from the nanotech@surfaces laboratory have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner ...
