Quantum Mechanics Theory
In 1925 Heisenberg started his development of the matrix mechanics formulation of the Quantum Theory. This would allow the quantum theory to be calculated with a matrix formula and could change the outcome of the equation all due to the arrangement of the numbers and figures since they were in columns and rows.

Developed The Uncertainty Principle
Heisenberg proposed the matrix calculation for Quantum Mechanics, returned to studying to perfect the formula, and developed the Uncertainty Principle. The Uncertainty Principle stated that the more precise a position known for a particle, the bigger the uncertainty for its momentum and vice versa. Clark, Josh.

Uniting Quantum Theory and the Uncertainty Principle
In early 1929, Heisenberg and Wolfgang Pauli submitted the first of two papers laying the foundation for the Uncertainty Principle within Quantum Theory Mechanics. Wolfgang Pauli was a physicist friend of Heisenberg that he had previously written to about the idea of the Uncertainty Principle.

Nobel Prize Awarded
In 1933 Heisenberg was announced a winner for a Nobel Prize for his accomplishments in Physics. The winners were decided in 1932, but the official announcement off the winners didn't take place until 1933.
