Quantum Mechanics
There are numerous mathematically equivalent formulations of quantum mechanics. One of the oldest and most commonly used formulations is the transformation theory proposed by Cambridge theoretical physicist Paul Dirac, which unifies and generalizes the two earliest formulations of quantum mechanics, matrix mechanics (invented by Werner Heisenberg)and wave mechanics (invented by Erwin Schrödinger).
Max Planck came up with the idea of a photon of energy, suggesting that instead of waves, each photon had a discrete amount, or a quantum hence the foundation of quantum mechanics. I assume it was him who gave it the name.
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912.

Quantum mechanics explained principles like superposition of wave-particle duality of mater. It shaped a world where the classical laws of physics were merely a waste. It exposed to us a world of particles, that matter was made of many groups of particles each accomplishing a particular task just like our organs. With the help of quantum mechanics we were able to get a 3 dimensional idea of the atom. It was able to explain the screening effect and the stark effect. It was also able to construct exact shape of orbitals and explain the formation of various types of compounds( A theory called hybridization and VSEPR and MOT came in handy thanks to quantum mechanics). It also explained the idea that atoms were composed of a lot more particles and helped predict their states nature and characteristics.
