Werner Heisenberg (1901–1976) was a German physicist who made significant contributions to quantum mechanics and is best known for formulating the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, a fundamental concept in quantum theory. This principle states that certain pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, cannot both be precisely measured simultaneously.
