Werner Heisenberg reports were confiscated under the Allied Operation Alsos and sent to the United States Atomic Energy Commission for evaluation. In 1971, the reports were declassified and returned to Germany. The reports are available at the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center and the American Institute of Physics. Werner Heisenberg Werner Karl Heisenberg (; ; 5 December 1901 – 1 February 1976) was a German theoretical physicist and one of the key pioneers of quantum mechanics. He published his work in 1925 in a breakthrough paper. In the subsequent series of papers with Max Born and Pascual Jordan, during the same year, this
Heisenberg group bracket. This Lie algebra is a one-dimensional central extension of the commutative Lie algebra formula_57, isomorphic to the Lie algebra of the Heisenberg group. The general abstraction of a Heisenberg group is constructed from any symplectic vector space. For example, let ("V",ω) be a finite-dimensional real symplectic vector space (so ω is a nondegenerate skew symmetric bilinear form on "V"). The Heisenberg group H("V") on ("V",ω) (or simply "V" for brevity) is the set "V"×R endowed with the group law The Heisenberg group is a central extension of the additive group "V". Thus there is an exact sequence Any symplectic
