Heinz-Dieter Zeh (usually referred to as H. Dieter Zeh) (born 8 May 1932 in Braunschweig, Germany) is a professor emeritus of the University of Heidelberg and theoretical physicist. He is one of the developers of the many-minds interpretation of quantum mechanics and the discoverer of decoherence, first described in his seminal 1970 paper.
