Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis for their experiments with a chip that revealed quantum physics in action

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis, who demonstrated both the quantum tunnelling effect and quantised energy levels in a system small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. These advances have served to develop the next generation of quantum technology, including quantum cryptography, quantum computers and quantum sensors.
