There are many founders of the quantum theory. Max Planck, a German scientist is generally considered to be its founding father but there are many other scientists who contributed to it. Although Gustav Kirchhoff identified the problem of black body radiation in 1859, Max Planck's quantum hypothesis in 1900 is generally considered the point where quantum physics as we know it was ''invented''. Since 1900 many scientists have added to it, some of the most notable being Albert Einstein who more fully described the photoelectric effect and who discovered photons, and Richard Feynman, the creator of famous Feynman diagrams which show interactions of particles as a graph where the

x-axis is space and the y-axis is time. Other important contributors include Paul Dirac, a famous mathematician, Erwin Schrӧdinger whose Schrӧdinger's cat theoretical experiment showed that the in the experiment cat can be both dead and alive at the same time, Niels Bohr, famous for his atomic model, Wolfgang Pauli, put together the Pauli Exclusion Principle, John von Neumann, the pioneer of the operator theory, Max Born, known for his Born's rule, Daniel Hilbert who put together what's known as Hilbert Space and many others.

Is quantum theory and quantum mechanics the same?

Quantum theory and quantum mechanics are closely related but not identical concepts. Quantum theory refers to the overarching framework and principles that describe the behavior of matter and energy at the quantum level, including concepts like superposition and entanglement. Quantum mechanics, on the other hand, is the mathematical formulation and set of rules derived from quantum theory that allows for the calculation of physical phenomena. Essentially, quantum mechanics is a subset of quantum theory, focusing on the practical application of its principles.


Who founded the quantum theory?

The original founder of quantum theory was Max Plank. The basic theory has been improved upon many times but there hasn't been a 'Modern Quantum Theory' that replaces the old.
