(Heisenberg called this matrix mechanics, soon shown to be equivalent to Erwin Schrödinger's more visualizable wave theory.) The uncertainty principle was hard even for scientists to accept at first.
Werner Heisenberg's high school years were interrupted ... To do this he applied a mathematical system to atomic physics, called matrix mechanics. It was a turning point for physics.
Their innovative ‘matrix mechanics’ was set out in a long paper 4, commonly known as the Dreimännerarbeit (the three-man paper) submitted by Born, Heisenberg and Jordan in November 1925.
Heisenberg, Max Born and Pascual Jordan — Paul Dirac made independent contributions — expanded the approach into what would become known as the matrix-mechanics formulation of quantum mechanics.
This module builds on the quantum mechanics learned in the perquisites PHY250 and PHY251. The Heisenberg matrix formulation of the theory is developed from the Schrodinger wave picture. Approximately ...
A dialogue between Giuseppe Mussardo and Chiara Sabelli about the history of quantum mechanics, retracing the fundamental milestones, key figures, and most significant moments of one of the greatest ...
This year was chosen because it marks the 100th anniversary of Werner Heisenberg’s development of matrix mechanics – the first consistent mathematical description of quantum physics. Our guest in this ...
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle says that ... It’s a concept that makes no sense on a human scale, but that’s quantum mechanics for you. Particles governed by quantum physics, such ...
In Bohr’s 1913 papers he envisaged atoms along the lines established by his mentor Ernest Rutherford: dense nuclei orbited by electrons. Bohr’s idea was that the energies and frequencies of the ...
