Nobel Prize in physics goes to trio of researchers for discoveries in quantum mechanics
- John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit, announced by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
- The prize amount totals 11 million Swedish crowns shared among the winners, as confirmed by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
- The Nobel Prizes, established through the will of Alfred Nobel in 1901, recognize significant achievements in science, literature, and peace, with physics being among the most prestigious categories.
- The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics is expected to advance quantum technology, including quantum cryptography and quantum computing, according to a statement from the awarding body.

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.
