The title "father of quantum mathematics" is often attributed to John von Neumann. He made fundamental contributions to the mathematical foundation of quantum mechanics, particularly through his development of functional analysis and the von Neumann algebra. His work on quantum mechanics helped in understanding the mathematical structure behind quantum theory.
However, the development of quantum mechanics itself is the result of contributions from several key figures, such as Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and Werner Heisenberg. Von Neumann's major role was in providing the mathematical framework that underpins the theory of quantum mechanics.
