Today, Tuesday 7 October 2025, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis. Their prize-winning work proves that quantum mechanical effects—long thought to exist only at microscopic scales—can be observed in macroscopic circuits. It’s an extraordinary step toward bridging the gap between quantum theory and real-world technologies.
