Three scientists from North American universities have won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on quantum mechanics.
The winners are John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis, "for the discovery of the macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling effect and energy quantization in an electrical circuit".
According to the committee, the winners "demonstrated both the quantum mechanical tunneling effect and quantized energy levels in a system large enough to fit in the hand".
The scientific advances have provided "opportunities for the development of the next generation of quantum technology, including quantum cryptography, quantum computers, and quantum sensors".
