Göttingen School of Physics

The Göttingen School of Physics was a group of influential scientists at the University of Göttingen in Germany during the early 20th century. They advanced fundamental understanding of quantum mechanics, atomic physics, and mathematical methods in physics. Key members like Max Born, Werner Heisenberg, and Pascual Jordan developed groundbreaking theories that shaped modern physics. Their collaborative environment fostered innovative ideas and precise experimentation, making Göttingen a leading center for scientific discovery in this era. Their work laid the foundation for much of 20th-century physics and profoundly influenced how we understand the microscopic world.
