US EditionNobel Prize in physics goes to trio of researchers for discoveries in quantum mechanics
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics honors Clarke, Devoret, and Martinis for pioneering macroscopic quantum tunneling, foundational to quantum computing and next-gen quantum technologies, said the Nobel Committee.
- The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis for their discoveries in macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in electrical circuits.
- Their experiments revealed that quantum effects could be observed on a macroscopic scale, paving the way for advancements in quantum technologies like quantum cryptography, quantum computers, and quantum sensors.
- Clarke, Devoret, and Martinis's work is foundational for developing future quantum technologies.
- Olle Eriksson, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, remarked on the utility of their discoveries, stating, 'It is also enormously useful, as quantum mechanics is the foundation of all digital technology.

Discoveries behind quantum computers win the Nobel Prize in physics
For bringing quantum effects to a scale once thought impossible, three physicists will take home the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics. In the 1980s, John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis turned up weird effects in special types of electric circuits. The effects involved billions of electrons. And they took place on a device big enough to hold in one’s hand. Their discoveries challenged what scientists had believed. Previously, they had though…
Quantum computers promise to revolutionize computing. Theoretically, they will have access to tasks that modern “classical” computers simply cannot cope with in a reasonable time. Although they have not yet found practical application, every year more advanced and complex devices are being created that can work with quantum information. All this was made possible by the 2025 Nobel laureates in physics: John Clark, Michel Devora and John Martiniz…
