The atomic bomb was not invented by a team, it was invented by Leo Szilard in 1933 while crossing a London street.
However it took a team to build the first ones, that was called the Manhattan Engineering District.

Who is responsible of making a nuclear or atomic bomb?
the US army headed a secret team of scientists called the Manhattan project - they did the science, developed the ideas and worked with engineers to make the first atomic bomb on 1944-1945.
Led team of Americans building atomic bomb?
Robert Oppenheimer
Who led the American team of engineers and scientisits building the atomic bomb?
Robert Oppenheimer
What country invented the atomic bomb?
The atomic bomb was not invented by any country, it was invented in 1933 by Leo Szilard (he was in London at the time, so when he patented the invention he sold it to the British Admiralty who classified it to keep the idea away from the Nazis).However following the discovery in 1939 of fission in uranium-235 by a team working in Germany and Sweden, the atomic bomb was independently reinvented (without any knowledge of Szilard's classified invention) by scientists in almost every industrialized country in the world.However it took the Manhattan Project (a joint U.S., U.K. Canada project) to actually build the massive industrial infrastructure needed to begin building atomic bombs. No other country was even prepared at the time to make this level of investment in such a speculative technology and anything less could not have succeeded in building an atomic bomb that could both work and be deliverable to a target.
Who were scientist who worked on the hiroshima bomb?
Robert Oppenheimer and his team of scientists.

Did Einstein develop the atomic bomb?
No, Albert Einstein did not develop the atomic bomb, which was developed by a team of researchers led by J. Robert Oppenheimer. Einstein's theoretical work does provide the basis upon which the bomb was developed.
Who was the creator of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima?
The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II was created by a team of scientists led by J. Robert Oppenheimer as part of the Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer is often considered the "father of the atomic bomb" due to his important role in its development.
Who led the American team of engineers and scientisits building the atomic bomb?
Robert Oppenheimer
Who invented atom bomb and who propounded the theory of atom bomb?
H. G. Wells used the words "atomic bomb" in his 1914 novel The World Set Free.Leo Szilard filed the first atomic bomb related patent in 1934, on the neutron chain reaction.A joint German and Swedish team discovered nuclear fission in uranium-235 in 1939.The US Manhattan Project developed the infrastructure to build atomic bombs, beginning production in 1945. This project employed tens of thousands of workers.
What did J Robert Oppenheimer do?
Not really. A very large team called the Manhattan Project, built the first atomic bombs. Oppenheimer was the civilian head of the team. General Leslie Groves was the military head of the project. Several hundred scientists and technicians worked on the project. The original idea of the bomb came from Leo Szliard (sp).

How did Einstein help with the US he helped the U.S by solving the atomic bomb?
He developed the theory of general and special relativity (E=mc2) which led to Robert Oppenheimer and his team creating the atomic bomb. The project was known as the Manhattan Project
When were atomic weapons invented?
He didn't he was the project leader of the TEAM that developed the first atomic bomb.It was Albert Einstein's equation E=MC2 that made people aware of the potential of atomic energy.
Who invented the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb?
Leo Szilard invented the atomic fission bomb in 1933 in London while crossing a street. He applied for a patent on it in 1934 and was granted that patent (GB630726) in 1936, at which time the British Admiralty classified the patent to prevent Nazi Germany from seeing it, the patent remained classified until 1949. Szilard worked on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos helping develop the atomic fission bomb.It is unclear exactly who invented the hydrogen fusion bomb as it came up in many group discussions early in the Manhattan Project. Edward Teller liked to have people believe he was the inventor, but that is unlikely. However Teller became fixated on it (calling it the Super Bomb) to the point that he began to hinder other people's work on the atomic fission bomb and finally Oppenheimer had to limit Teller's access to others on the project (which Teller never forgave him for). Before the war ended Teller had completed a hydrogen fusion bomb design that he called the Classical Super but was not allowed to try building it. However in December 1945 and January 1946 a simulation of Teller's Classical Super design was run on the ENIAC, but it showed the design was an unworkable failure and serious work on hydrogen fusion bombs effectively died at that time (although Teller persisted at working alone on them in his spare time).In 1949 a team working on atomic fission bomb improvements at Los Alamos developed an idea to improve the core compression of an atomic fission bomb (and thus its efficiency and yield) using a concept called "staging", where a small atomic fission bomb would be used to compress a second larger atomic fission bomb thus giving a much higher yield. However the team ran into problems developing the equations for a computational model of this design. They sent their mathematician Stanislaw Ulam to consult with Edward Teller on these equations. Teller immediately saw that this "staging" concept was the feature needed to get the high compression and temperature needed to finally make his hydrogen fusion bomb design workable. By 1950 working together Stanislaw Ulam & Edward Teller had invented the modern staged hydrogen fusion bomb design (usually called the Teller-Ulam configuration, although Teller kept trying to denigrate and diminish Ulam's contributions).Note: H. G. Wells created the name "atomic bomb" for his 1914 science fiction novel The World Set Free, but did not have anything to do with their invention.
