How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T990118 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.
Target entity: Gruppentheorie und Quantenmechanik Context triple: [Hermann Weyl, notableWork, Gruppentheorie und Quantenmechanik]
-
A.
Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics is John von Neumann’s landmark 1932 treatise that rigorously formulates quantum theory using functional analysis and operator theory on Hilbert spaces.
-
B.
Vorlesungen über Atommechanik
Vorlesungen über Atommechanik is a foundational early 20th-century textbook on quantum theory and atomic mechanics written by physicist Max Born.
-
C.
Wigner’s theorem on symmetry transformations
Wigner’s theorem on symmetry transformations is a fundamental result in quantum mechanics stating that any symmetry of transition probabilities is represented by either a unitary or antiunitary operator on the system’s Hilbert space.
-
D.
Wigner–Eckart theorem
The Wigner–Eckart theorem is a fundamental result in quantum mechanics that factorizes matrix elements of tensor operators into a reduced matrix element and a purely geometric part given by Clebsch–Gordan coefficients, greatly simplifying angular momentum calculations.
-
E.
matrix mechanics
Matrix mechanics is an early formulation of quantum mechanics that represents physical observables as matrices and describes their time evolution through noncommutative algebra.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
