One of the many reasons why QM is interesting is because no single person is responsible for it. The list that follows is by no means comprehensive:
P.A.M. Dirac (bra-ket notation, Dirac equation, predicted positron)
Erwin Schrodinger (derived wave equation)
Werner Heisenberg (uncertainty principle, matrix formulation)
Niels Bohr (Correspondence principle, Copenhagen interpretation)
Max Planck (Planck's constant)
Max Born (statistical interpretation, Heisenberg's boss)
Pascual Jordan (matrix formulation)
Albert Einstein was engaged in debate about QM, but was deeply troubled by its philosophical ramifications (see EPR paradox)
Many people are unfairly overlooked in this list, but it will get you started at least. Obviously, only a couple of their accomplishments are listed. Each person did much more than what I listed.
Lots of scientists contributed much to the development of physics; I would not find it appropriate to single out one of them. Any text on the history of science - or of physics - will tell you about some of the individuals that contributed.
Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are two prominent scientists who made significant contributions to the development of physics. Newton is known for his laws of motion and universal gravitation, while Einstein is famous for his theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and matter. Both scientists have had a lasting impact on the field of physics.
Albert Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on theoretical physics, particularly for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect and his contributions to the development of quantum theory.
Aaron O'Connell is a physicist known for his research in quantum mechanics and quantum computing. He is best known for his work in demonstrating the quantum behavior of macroscopic objects, such as vibrating drumheads. O'Connell's research has contributed to our understanding of the boundary between classical and quantum physics, and has implications for the development of quantum technologies.
Scientist use physics for all sorts of things. Scientist can use Newtons and other gravity-related laws to work out the trajectory of a crashing satellite. If scientist wanted to, he could look use molecular physics to predict how chemicals will react. Scientist is a pretty cool guy.

One famous local scientist is Marie Curie, known for her pioneering research on radioactivity. A prominent foreign scientist is Albert Einstein, acclaimed for his theory of relativity. Both made significant contributions to the field of physics.
Maxwell, Newton, Einstein, Tesla, Candela, Joule, Weber, Curie, Edison, Bohr, and those are just a few.

One example of a foreign scientist and their contribution is Marie Curie from Poland. She discovered the elements radium and polonium and conducted pioneering research on radioactivity, leading to her winning two Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry. Her work laid the foundation for advancements in nuclear physics and medical treatments using radiation.
