On October 8, 2021, Universal Pictures announced production on Oppenheimer and confirmed that composer Ludwig Göransson would be scoring the film. Göransson had previously worked with director Christopher Nolan, scoring Nolan's 2020 film Tenet.
The Oppenheimer soundtrack was written by Swedish composer, Ludwig Göransson, the latest in a string of high-profile projects for the rising-star composer. The 38-year-old musician is a highly acclaimed composer and producer, with an Oscar, two Emmys, and three Grammys as proof of his prowess.
He's often worked with Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan, laying down classic themes for the Dark Knight trilogy, Interstellar, and more. However, Hans Zimmer didn't do the Oppenheimer soundtrack. In fact, he's not scored a Nolan film in a while – the last one he had a hand in was 2017's Dunkirk.
Ludwig Göransson's score immerses the audience in the inner emotional dilemma of a man on the brink of unleashing the potential destruction of humanity, while the sound design illustrates flashbacks, physical phenomena and atoms clashing with each other.

Oppenheimer is a 2023 epic biographical thriller drama film written, directed, and produced by Christopher Nolan. It follows the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist who helped develop the first nuclear weapons during World War II.
This past summer, Christopher Nolan released his hit movie Oppenheimer. This greatly awaited movie surpassed the world's expectations, and it brought a new liking of movie soundtracks and cinematographic music.
Robert Oppenheimer was an immensely complex figure, and the movie's based on a biography of him. While the movie is historically accurate in many ways, there are a few bits of fiction mixed in.
Conversation. Did not realize Hans Zimmer passed on Oppenheimer because he was just so excited to work on Dune — what a brilliant composer. NO CLASSICAL MUSIC: Sci-fi films that Zimmer saw growing up (“2001”, “Star…
What truly happened back then was that when Nolan offered Zimmer Tenet, the music producer was on his music tour and had come to the sudden epiphany that he was enjoying this more than he enjoyed making music for movies. That was why he turned down Christopher Nolan's action/sci-fi.

In this scene, the stomping is heard, and is meant to signify the pressure Oppenheimer is feeling in this scene. This is a continuous theme seen throughout the scenes with the stomping in them. Another very important detail was the lack of sound during the bomb test.

Oppenheimer's IQ is 135. This estimation assumes he would be among the top 1% of living physicists during his era. The estimation follows the methods and assumptions utilized for Albert Einstein, offering a credible insight into Oppenheimer's intellectual caliber.
Most theorists peg Einstein's IQ score between 160-190. Because he never took any kind of test to measure his intelligence, the definite score is still a mystery. But without a doubt, he was a brilliant man with an incredible brain.
