Werner Heisenberg mechanics formulation of quantum mechanics. On 1 May 1926, Heisenberg began his appointment as a university lecturer and assistant to Bohr in Copenhagen. It was in Copenhagen, in 1927, that Heisenberg developed his uncertainty principle, while working on the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. On 23 February, Heisenberg wrote a letter to fellow physicist Wolfgang Pauli, in which he first described his new principle. In his paper on the principle, Heisenberg used the word ""Ungenauigkeit"" (imprecision), not uncertainty, to describe it. In 1927, Heisenberg was appointed "ordentlicher Professor" (professor ordinarius) of theoretical physics and head of the department of physics
Heisenberg group the special property that the exponential map is a one-to-one and onto map from the Lie algebra formula_16 to the group formula_1. More general Heisenberg groups formula_31 may be defined for higher dimensions in Euclidean space, and more generally on symplectic vector spaces. The simplest general case is the real Heisenberg group of dimension formula_32, for any integer formula_33. As a group of matrices, formula_31 (or formula_35 to indicate this is the Heisenberg group over the field formula_36 of real numbers) is defined as the group formula_37 matrices with entries in formula_36 and having the form: where This is indeed
