Jochen Heisenberg is a theoretical physicist at the University of New Hampshire. His father, Werner, is famous for winning the Nobel Prize and creating the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, but to some, he's famous infamous for staying in Nazi Germany and doing atomic research during the war. Part of this period in Werner's life is explored in the play "Copenhagen" which will be in Boston next month. Jochen talks about his father's and his own work and the difficult decisions his father was faced with.
