The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 has been awarded to John Martinis, Michel H. Devoret and John Clarke for their pioneering experiments that proved even large systems made of billions of particles can display quantum behavior under controlled conditions. Their groundbreaking work in the 1980s demonstrated macroscopic quantum tunneling and energy quantization in electric circuits known as Josephson junctions, establishing a crucial foundation for the development of quantum computers. This discovery not only deepened the understanding of quantum mechanics but also paved the way for today’s superconducting qubits, which are at the heart of modern quantum computing technologies.
