Abstract

Max Born was one of the small group of theoretical physicists who established the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics in the 1920s. Born himself recognized that Heisenberg had the crucial idea that the variables in quantum mechanics should be observable quantities, not classical coordinates that were not observable. Heisenberg proposed to take instead quantities that were related to the transitions between states of an atom. The photograph shows Max Born (Copyright © Anne Meitner)
