"The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis for work on quantum mechanic tunnelling. The award, announced by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Tuesday, will be presented to the trio in December for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit."
"The trio's experiments demonstrated that quantum mechanical properties can be made concrete on a macroscopic scale, the prize-awarding body said in a statement. Their work has provided opportunities for developing the next generation of quantum technology, including quantum cryptography, quantum computers, and quantum sensors, it continued. The prize of 11 million Swedish kronor ($1.17m) is to be shared equally between the three, all of whom are based in the United States. The king of Sweden will also present them with gold medals."
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis. The prize recognizes the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit. Their experiments demonstrated that quantum mechanical properties can be manifested at macroscopic scales. The findings open pathways for next-generation quantum technologies, including quantum cryptography, quantum computers and quantum sensors. The 11 million Swedish kronor prize will be shared equally among the three, who are based in the United States, and gold medals will be presented by the king of Sweden in December.
