Two people with golden medals
$begingroup$
A duet between two people.
(A) The largest of boards, yet my length is real small.
(B) A well-known professor, a rock without roll.
(A) A black body's spectre by my law is bound.
(B) My famed equation with E is profound.
(both) QM's foundations by us were laid out.
(both) Our golden medals deserved were, no doubt.
Who are we?

They Are:
Max Planck & Albert Einstein
Explanation:
Planck's solution to black body radiation and Einstein's equation E=MC^2 laid the foundation of quantum mechanics, they both won nobel prize (golden medal)
