If you mean who did the most notable scientific research that led to the A-bomb, that would be either Hungarian Leo Szilard or Italian Enrico Fermi. Szilard come up with the idea of a fission chain reaction, organized scientists for the bomb, and convinced Einstein to sign a letter which persuaded President Roosevelt to fund the Manhattan Project. Using Szilard's chain reaction idea, Fermi created Chicago Pile-1, the first nuclear reactor, in 1942. Szilard and Fermi jointly filed for U.S. Patent 2,708,656. The biggest technical barrier to making an A-bomb is enriching uranium rather than the scientific research.
