The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 was held by the British John Clarke, the French Michel Devoret and the American John Martinis "for the discovery of the quantum macroscopic tunnel effect and the quantization of energy in an electric circuit", announced on Tuesday the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The winners were distinguished by experiments carried out in the 1980s, which showed that a particle, on a quantum scale, can directly cross a barr…
The finding of John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis shows that the effects of quantum mechanics also exist on a large scale, and today they are the basis of technologies such as quantum computing, cryptography and ultra-precise sensors. This 2025, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis for discovering that a typical phenomenon of the microscopic world - the quantum tunnel effe…
Quantum Leap: 3 US Scientists With UC Ties Win 2025 Physics Nobel
India-West News DeskSAN FRANCISCO, CA — Three US scientists with strong ties to the University of California have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments that demonstrated quantum physics in action on a chip, a breakthrough that could drive the next generation of quantum technologies, including computers, sensors, and cryptography. The trio will share the prize money of 11 million Swedish kronor. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences…
Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to quantum pioneers
In a boost to the profile of quantum computing, the Nobel Prize Committee has awarded this year’s Physics prize to three pioneers in the field of quantum research: John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis, “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit”. This was a significant development. It had long been recognized that quantum mechanics would allow a particle to move st…
