US EditionNobel Prize in physics goes to trio of researchers for discoveries in quantum mechanics
- John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit.
- Their discoveries in the 1980s demonstrated quantum tunneling on a macroscopic scale using superconductors, according to the Nobel jury.
- The Nobel Prize includes a shared prize sum of 11 million Swedish kronor and will be awarded at a ceremony on December 10, as stated by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
- Clarke mentioned that their work impacts everyday life, stating, 'One of the underlying reasons that the cell phone works is because of all this work.

This year's physics laureates demonstrated the strange phenomena of quantum mechanics in things larger than individual atoms and particles. In doing so, they laid the foundation for the superconducting quantum computers of the future.
3 Academics Share Nobel Prize in Physics
Three academics affiliated with U.S. universities have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit,” the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced Tuesday morning.
Nobel Prize in Physics Awarded for Quantum Breakthrough
Briton John Clarke, Frenchman Michel Devoret, and American John Martinis won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for their pioneering work on quantum mechanics. The Nobel jury recognized the trio for its discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit. Their experiments in the 1980s demonstrated that quantum tunnelling—usually only seen at tiny scales—can occur in larger systems using supercondu…
This year, the Nobel Prize in Physics will be awarded to quantum physicists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis, who are researching in the USA. This was announced by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm.
