Nobel Prize in Physics, 2025

• The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three American scientists for their pioneering work on quantum physics using chips.

• Laureates John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis are affiliated with the University of California and Yale University.
• Their work has paved the way for advances in quantum computers, quantum sensors, and quantum cryptography.
• Their experiments demonstrated that an electrical circuit as small as a handheld exhibits quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization.

• This discovery proved that quantum effects can exist on a macroscopic scale, potentially transforming the understanding of physical systems.
• The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the trio 11 million Swedish kronor for their contributions.
• This achievement has been hailed as a major step toward the development of practical quantum technologies.
