Revolution, Part I Heisensberg’s Matrices

David Wick

Werner Heisenberg, co-discoverer of quantum mechanics, was born on December 5, 1901, in Würzburg, Germany, the second son in a scholarly family. His father, August Heisenberg, initially taught at a gymnasium but after his Habilitation was appointed Professor of Greek Philology at the University of Munich in 1911. Werner’s teachers in Munich made observations about the 10-year-old which seem prescient today (but which probably characterize bright children everywhere): “He has an eye for what is essential and never gets lost in details…great interest and thoroughness, and ambition.” Heisenberg excelled over the other boys at skiing and chess. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

The legacy of uncertainty

Laurie Mark Brown

An historical account is given of the circumstances whereby the uncertainty relations were introduced into physics by Heisenberg. The criticisms of QED on measurement-theoretical grounds by Landau and Peierls are then discussed, as well as the response to them by Bohr and Rosenfeld. Finally, some examples are given of how the new freedom to advance radical proposals, in part the result of the revolution brought about by 'uncertainty,' was implemented in dealing with the new phenomena encountered in elementary particle physics in the 1930's.
