Werner Heisenberg the lattice theory of crystals in 1921. While matrices were used in these cases, the algebra of matrices with their multiplication did not enter the picture as they did in the matrix formulation of quantum mechanics. In 1928, Albert Einstein nominated Heisenberg, Born, and Jordan for the Nobel Prize in Physics, The announcement of the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1932 was delayed until November 1933. It was at that time that it was announced Heisenberg had won the Prize for 1932 "for the creation of quantum mechanics, the application of which has, , led to the discovery of the
Heisenberg group unitary operator of formula_103 that commutes with them is an formula_121 multiplier. But commuting with translations implies that the multiplier is constant. A version of the Stone–von Neumann theorem, proved by George Mackey, holds for the Heisenberg group formula_113. The Fourier transform is the unique intertwiner between the representations of formula_103 and formula_124. See the discussion at Stone–von Neumann theorem#Relation to the Fourier transform for details. Heisenberg group In mathematics, the Heisenberg group formula_1, named after Werner Heisenberg, is the group of 3×3 upper triangular matrices of the form under the operation of matrix multiplication.
