Quantum mechanics is usually described as the science of the very small — of electrons, atoms, and photons that behave in ways that defy the rules of everyday experience. Yet one of the most striking ...

The award was given to Briton John Clarke, Frenchman Michel H. Devoret and American John M. Martinis for “experiments that revealed quantum physics in action,” the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences ...

A maths theory powering computer image compression, an "invisibility cloak" or the science behind the James Webb Space Telescope are some achievements that could be honoured when the Nobel physics ...

The d-wave quantum computer is making a lot of noise in 2025, and honestly, it’s not just hype. For years, people talked about quantum computers as if they were some far-off dream. Now, with D-Wave’s ...

Modern cell phones are also built on the work of today’s winners from 40 years ago.

Clarke discussed the importance of federal funding – the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory paid for much of his research and equipment – at a time when the Trump Administration is making ...

Although he was one of the pioneers of quantum physics, Erwin Schrödinger’s thought experiment showed that the ideas of quantum mechanics cannot easily be understood when viewed in terms of real-world ...

Their work took the seeming contradictions of the subatomic world and applied them in the more traditional physics of digital devices.

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were recognized for work that made behaviors of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale.

John Clarke, Michal H. Devort and John Martinis were honored for showing quantum tunneling in an electrical circuit, work with implications for the next generation of quantum technology.

UC Berkeley emeritus professor John Clarke, UC Santa Barbara professor Michel H. Devoret and UC Santa Barbara professor John M. Martinis were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics for their ...

The trio’s research in the 1980s demonstrated a bizarre quantum phenomenon on a scale large enough to see and hold ...
