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.

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…

The British John Clarke, French Michel H. Devoret and American John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their research in the field of quantum mechanics on Tuesday. The trio was awarded “for the discovery of the macroscopic quantum tunnel effect and the quantization of energy in an electrical circuit,” the jury said. Quantum mechanics studies the behavior of matter and energy on extremely small scales. For example, on a macroscopic sc…
