Max Born was a German physicist and mathematician, born on December 11, 1882, in Breslau, Prussia (now Wrocław, Poland). He is best known for his fundamental contributions to quantum mechanics and for formulating the Born rule, which provides a probabilistic interpretation of the wave function. Born was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1954 for his work in this field and is also noted for his role in the development of solid-state physics and optics.
