Martinis View in Browser SUBMIT AN ARTICLE MANAGE MY ALERTS OUR JOURNALS Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics 2025: Celebrating a Breakthrough in Quantum Mechanics We are thrilled to celebrate that the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis for "the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantization in an electric circuit." The work of this year's Nobel laureates builds upon the foundational quantum theories and discoveries of Niels Bohr, Max Planck, Paul Dirac and many others a century ago, and has profoundly influenced the world today.  Quantum mechanical tunnelling is one of the unseen breakthroughs in digital technology shaping our lives; from the micro transistors that enable the flash memory in our mobile phones, to the emergence of quantum computers, and the development of scanning tunnelling microscopes that are revolutionizing our ability to observe and manipulate the atomic world.  Learn More About the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics Read about the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics laureates and their incredible work from AIP.
