Title: The story of Heisenberg's quantum mechanics”

Abstract:
Ninety years ago the birth of quantum mechanics took place when Werner
Heisenberg submitted his paper on Quantum-theoretical reinterpretation 
of
kinematic and mechanical relations (Über quantentheoretische Umdeutung 
kinematischer und
mechanischer Beziehungen) to Zeitschrift für Physik. [Z. Phys., 33, 
879-893 (1925)].
We will show how important the historical context was for an 
understanding of his work
and we will follow Heisenberg on the narrow path that took him from the 
unsuccessful old
quantum mechanics to the light of the new quantum mechanics. We then 
discuss Heisenberg’s
research in the years following his scienti
c breakthrough.
