Quotes by or related to Werner Heisenberg


"Heisenberg has discussed the coupled double harmonic oscillator, and has shown that the ordinary rules of quantization lead to two non-combining sets of states in one of which the electrons are in phase and out of phase. The energy of the system is successively transferred from one to the other -- resonance!"
Linus Pauling. NOVA Interview. 1977.
