Werner Karl Heisenberg

Werner Karl Heisenberg, (1901- 1976), a celebrated Physicist, best known for the "principle of uncertainty", more commonly known as "Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle".

Inventor of [matrix mechanics]?, the first implementation of quantum mechanics in 1925.

The Uncertainty Principle, discovered in 1927, states that the determination of both the position and momentum of a particle necessarily contains errors, the product of these being not less than the quantum constant h. These errors are negligible in general but paramount when studying small quantities at the atomic level.

Receiver in 1932 of the Nobel Prize in physics "for the creation of quantum mechanics, the application of which has, inter alia, led to the discovery of the allotropic forms of hydrogen".
