Max Born was a German-British physicist and mathematician known for his significant contributions to quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, and optics. He supervised the work of several notable physicists in the 1920s and 1930s and received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1954 for his research in quantum mechanics. Born also worked on special relativity, sound ranging research during World War I, and collaborated with Werner Heisenberg on the matrix mechanics representation of quantum mechanics. He emigrated to the UK to escape persecution by the Nazi Party and continued his research at institutions in both the UK and Germany.
