Abstract

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis for their foundational discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in electrical circuits. The work that was honored was conducted primarily in the mid-1980s in John Clarke's laboratory at the University of California-Berkeley, as described in two articles in [M. H. Devoret, J. M. Martinis, J. Clarke, , 1908-1911 (1985); J. M. Martinis, M. H. Devoret, J. Clarke, , 1543-1546 (1985)]. This work effectively bridged the gap between the microscopic world of atoms and the macroscopic world of human-scale engineering.
