Planck introduce the concept of a quantum of energy in order to explain the
spectral distribution of black body radiation. Einstein and others were able
to extend the concept to explain specific heat and photoemission. Bohr first
applied it to atomic physics. Heisenberg developed the first modern theory
of quantum mechanics. Shrödinger formulated a wave equation that was much
more familiar to physicists of the day. The big surprise was that the
Schrödinger formulation gave identical results to that of Heisenberg's in
spite of appearing to be very different. The Schrödinger formulation was
much easier for making calculations while the Heisenberg formulation was
better suited to understanding essence of what quantum physics was all
about.
