Niels Bohr
Niels Bohr (1885–1962) is a Danish physicist who pioneered quantum theory, proposed the quantized atomic model, and developed the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Why it matters
His atomic model laid the foundation for modern quantum chemistry and spectroscopy, while the Copenhagen interpretation shaped how physicists understand measurement and reality at the quantum scale — an enduring influence still debated today.
