John von Neumann

Von Neumann built a solid framework for quantum mechanics. He also worked in game theory, studied what are now called von Neumann Algebras, and was one of the pioneers of computer science.

The term computer architecture describes the layout of the machine. All computers use the von Neumann model, named after the American who suggested it.
