US EditionNobel Prize in physics goes to trio of researchers for discoveries in quantum mechanics
The trio’s 1980s experiments showed quantum effects on a macroscopic scale, enabling advances in quantum computing and sensors with an $1.2 million prize, the Royal Swedish Academy said.
- John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Oct 7 for their discoveries in quantum mechanics, specifically for macroscopic quantum tunnelling and energy quantization in an electric circuit.
- The Nobel Prize recognized experiments from the 1980s that demonstrated quantum tunnelling on a macroscopic scale using superconductors.
- Clarke highlighted that their work is fundamental to technologies like mobile phones, stating, 'One of the underlying reasons that the cell phone works is because of all this work.'
- The winners will receive their prizes from Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf during a ceremony in Stockholm on December 10.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three US scientists: John Clarke, Michael H. Devoret, and John M. ...
This year's physics laureates demonstrated the strange phenomena of quantum mechanics in things larger than individual atoms and particles. In doing so, they laid the foundation for the superconducting quantum computers of the future.
3 Academics Share Nobel Prize in Physics
Three academics affiliated with U.S. universities have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit,” the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced Tuesday morning.
Michel Devoret became the 18th Frenchman to receive a Nobel Prize in Physics. On Tuesday, October 7, the Nobel Committee awarded the 2025 Prize to a trio, also made up of British John Clarke and American John Martinis, TF1info reports. The three researchers were rewarded for their advances in quantum mechanics, science that studies how things work on microscopic scales, that is, at the level of particles.In a series of experiments conducted in t…
The Nobel Prize for physics is awarded for discoveries in quantum mechanical tunneling
STOCKHOLM — John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for research into quantum mechanical tunneling.Clarke conducted his research at the University of California, Berkeley; Martinis at the University of California, Santa Barbara; and Devoret at Yale and also at the University of California, Santa Barbara.“To put it mildly, it was the surprise of my life,” Clarke told reporters at the announcem…
