Elmer Samuel Imes applied infrared spectroscopy to the quantum theory to investigate the interactions of molecules with electromagnetic radiation and to provide experimental confirmation of quantum theory predictions. By studying the absorption and emission of infrared radiation by molecules, Imes was able to demonstrate the quantization of energy levels in molecules, supporting the principles of quantum mechanics.
The quantum mechanical model is called the quantum theory.
The most known theory in quantum mechanics would be the Broglie-Bohm theory. Other popular theories are the string theory, quantum entanglement, and SchrÌ_dinger's cat.
There is no reasonable alternative to quantum mechanics, at least not something that can even compare with the predictive power and experimental accuracy as quantum theory. If you want to make predictions about things happening at small scales you cannot do without quantum mechanics. Also note that certain models which are now considered as possible theories of everything (e.g. string theory) all expand upon quantum mechanics, they do not make quantum mechanics invalid or unnecessary.
Max Planck is often credited as the founder of quantum theory. He introduced the concept of energy quantization in 1900, which led to the development of quantum theory by other physicists such as Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and Werner Heisenberg.
The electron is the particle most involved with quantum theory. Its behavior and properties are governed by quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of very small particles like electrons.
His work demonstrated for the first time that Quantum Theory could be applied to radiation in all regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, to the rotational energy states of molecules as well as the vibration and electronic levels. His work provided an early verification of Quantum Theory. It was one of the earliest applications of high resolution infrared spectroscopy and provided the first detailed spectra of molecules giving way to the study molecular structure through infrared spectroscopy.
The whole science of spectroscopy is proof of it.

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.
