Helmut Rechenberg (November 6, 1937, in Berlin – November 10, 2016, in Munich) was a German physicist and science historian.[1]
Rechenberg studied mathematics, physics and astronomy at the
George Sudarshan on quantum field theory and with Jagdish Mehra on science history. He then returned to Germany and the Max Planck Institute, from which he officially retired in 2002.[1]
His six-volume work with Jagdish Mehra on the history of quantum mechanics has been described as "an extraordinary amount of painstaking scholarship".[2] Rechenberg also co-edited Werner Heisenberg's collected works[3][4] and from 1977 headed the MPI's Werner Heisenberg Archive.[1] After retiring, he wrote a two-volume biography of Heisenberg.[5]
