He was a physicist and quantum mechanics man who was first to think of the application of the atom to bombs. He was a member of the team which built the first atomic pile, applying atomic energy to explosives. Edward Teller, father of the H bomb was a well-known Hungarian Thus the Hungarians who sought to make America their home have made many generous contributions to the historical and cultural development of this great nation.
