Oddly enough the first one was Albert Einstein. His nobel prize was for this work not his already published theory of relativity (because it was too weird) he later rejected the current form of quantum mechanics because of Bohr's addition of the "copenhagen interpretation".
quantum theory of light
Quantum theory was not the result of a single experiment, a single discovery, or even a single scientist. Quantum theory evolved gradually, over several decades.
The most modern theory of light is the quantum theory.
The quantum theory of light unifies the particle theory of light (photons) and wave theory of light by treating light as both particles and waves. Photons are quantized packets of energy that exhibit particle-like behavior, while light waves exhibit wave-like behavior with properties such as interference and diffraction. Quantum theory provides a framework to understand the dual nature of light.

Max Planck in 1899...or 1900.Max Planck, a famous scientist.
The scientist who proposed that light consists of quanta of energy was Albert Einstein in his groundbreaking paper on the photoelectric effect in 1905. Einstein's work on the photoelectric effect helped lay the foundation for the development of quantum theory.
Some scientists who have conducted experiments on the nature of light include Thomas Young, who proposed the wave theory of light through his double-slit experiment, and Albert Michelson and Edward Morley, who performed the Michelson-Morley experiment to investigate the presence of the luminiferous aether. Another notable scientist is Max Planck, who developed the quantum theory to explain the behavior of light.
explain planks quantum theory? Planck did not make the whole Quantom thoery. He only made up Quanta. Other scientists helped inprove it over time.
The quantum of light, known as a photon, is significant in physics because it helps explain the behavior of light and other electromagnetic radiation. It plays a key role in the theory of quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of particles at the smallest scales. Understanding the quantum nature of light has led to advancements in various fields, including quantum computing and telecommunications.
