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.
- John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit, according to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
- Their experiments, conducted in the 1980s, demonstrated that quantum tunneling can be observed on a macroscopic scale using superconductors and involving multiple particles.
- Clarke noted that their discoveries have impacted daily life, stating he was speaking via a mobile phone, which relies on their research findings.
- The Nobel Prize includes a shared prize sum of 11 million Swedish kronor and will be formally presented at a ceremony on December 10.

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…
