	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Werner Heisenberg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Werner Karl Heisenberg (December 5, 1901 – February 1, 1976) was a celebrated German physicist and Nobel laureate, one of the founders of quantum mechanics.
		In 1957 Heisenberg together with Otto Hahn, Max von Laue, Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker and Max Born formulated and signed a protest against nuclear arming of the German Armed Forces and world-wide nuclear armaments, the so-called "Göttingen Declaration of the German Nuclear Physicists".
		In it, an angry Bohr relates that Heisenberg, in their 1941 conversation, did not express any moral problems with the bomb making project, that Heisenberg had spent the past two years working almost exclusively on it, and that he was convinced that the atomic bomb would eventually decide the war.

	Uncertainty principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle or the Heisenberg indeterminacy principle — the latter name given to it by Niels Bohr — states that one cannot measure values (with arbitrary precision) of certain conjugate quantities, which are pairs of observables of a single elementary particle.
		However, Heisenberg showed that, even in theory with a hypothetical infinitely precise instrument, no measurement could be made to arbitrary accuracy of both the position and the momentum of a physical object.
		In 1927, to develop the standard deviation for the uncertainty principle, Heisenberg took the gaussian distribution or bell curve for the imprecision in the measurement of the position q of a moving electron to the corresponding bell curve of the measured momentum p.

	Heisenberg compensator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that one cannot know both the position of a subatomic particle and its momentum to arbitrary precision.
		An alternative theory is that such compensators could use the principle of quantum entanglement to entangle particles in a small block of experimental matter with those in the subject.
		According to the TNG Technical Manual, the discrepancies between the matter stream and stored pattern will be so great as to prohibit accurate reconstruction of the subject 420 seconds after the Heisenberg compensators have measured the quantum structure of the subject.

	Werner Heisenberg - Uncyclopedia
		Werner Heisenberg was born to Beth and Johnny Heisenberg in Koln (Cologne), Germany.
		It was then on Feb. 30, as Heisenberg approached death, that Schrödinger cryogenically froze him, in order to keep him in a simultaneous state of life and death.
		Heisenberg's life remains a testement to starry-eyed children who wish to disobey their father and pursue their dreams.

		Heisenberg compensator: Part of a transporter, to keep the beamed material on his place.
		The Heisenberg compensators are used to keep everything in the matter stream exactly where it should be.
		Note that this doesn't mean that the Heisenberg compensators tell you the vital statistics of the particle; they could very well just compensate for not knowing them and keep the system working just fine.

	Talk:Heisenberg compensator - Memory Alpha
		This appears to be a suppliment to Heisenberg compensator, but doesnt appear to have ever been references in Trek.
		The Heisenberg principle states that the uncertainty associated with measuring position (dx) and the uncertainty associated with measuring momentum (dp) obey the relation dp*dx >= 1/2, (where I have let Planck's constant h-bar = 1).
		A Replicator, on the other hand, requires a lower (molecular) resolution and therefore Heisenberg compensators are not necessary.

	Heisenberg compensator - Memory Alpha
		It works around the problems caused by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (hence the name), allowing the transporter sensors to compensate for the inability to determine the position and momentum of the target particles to the same degree of accuracy.
		While trying to devise a way to transport holographic matter off the holodeck without it disintegrating instantly, the idea was put forth that decoupling the Heisenberg compensators might let the matter reform normally, although the suggestion was used as a stalling tactic against Professor James Moriarty, and the idea had never actually been tried before.
		The Heisenberg compensator circumvents the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which states that one cannot know both the position of a subatomic particle and its momentum to arbitrary precision.

	Dr. Dobb's \| A Heisenberg Compensator for Measuring Software Performance \| May 6, 2004
		When asked what was wrong, the technician said, "Well, it might be a problem in the Heisenberg Compensator." This was an amusing acknowledgment that some type of compensator would need to exist to be able to scan the object being transported accurately enough to be able to reconstruct it.
		Interestingly, when the show's writers were asked if they knew how the Heisenberg Compensator worked, they responded that if they did, they would be off collecting their Nobel Prizes in Sweden, not working on a TV show (http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/st/interviews/bormanis/ page38.shtml).
		While this may not be a perfect Heisenberg Compensator for measuring software performance, we can use modern microprocessor features to draw a fine line around the tradeoffs between measuring certain types of performance data and minimally affecting software performance.

	Comic Book Resources Forums - A few random thoughts on teleportation (fictional) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Some Dimensional teleporters are written as being able to view, or otherwise sense things about their home dimension while travelling through the other one, thus allowing them to pinpoint thier location of reentry while also maintaining awareness of obstacles in the area.
		To dumb it down(IIRC), Heisenberg stated that on the quantum level, you could observe or predict either the location or the movement of any molecule but you couldn't predict either.
		When I first heard about the compensators, I thought that a way they could 'work' would be to use particles significantly smaller than quanta to make their readings...

		This principle, brewed up on the darkest edges of physics, states that you can't know a particle's precise location and velocity at the same time.
		What was omitted is that in Star Trek this is avoided by having a device called the "Heisenberg Compensator", which makes the necessary adjustments.
		Although the question's been posed "how does the Heisenberg Compensator work?", the answer, in true Cap'n Kirk style, has always been "very well, thank you".

		But the problem is something called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which says that you can’t measure subatomic particles without destroying their original state.

	Refutation of Heisenberg Uncertainty Regarding Photons
		Thus, contrary to Heisenberg, I can know both the momentum and the position of the photon simultaneously, with absolute accuracy.
		Hans Dehmelt won the Nobel Prize for experiments proving that the both the position and momentum of an electron could be measured simultaneously with perfect accuracy.
		Since Dehmelt won the Nobel Prize for this, and since the above arguments show that monochromatic photons are in no regard uncertain, it seems that Heisenberg Uncertainty has been fairly well denied.

		The Heisenberg compensators are another good example: they describe technology which is used to deal with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (which would make transporters impossible).
		Amazingly, researchers at IBM labs have developed something which could be called a "Heisenberg compensator", although its operating principles are such that it could never be applied to a Star Trek transporter.
		Other terms like "plasma conduit", "pattern buffer", "phase transition coil", "impulse engine", and "power coupling" are sprinkled throughout Star Trek, and can be easily interpreted to be meaningful in the context of their observed function on the show.
