Nobel physics prize goes to pioneers of quantum mechanics

By Niklas Pollard and Johan Ahlander

Stockholm (Reuters) -K -centered scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis opened the way for the development of new generation digital technologies, won the 2025 Nobel Prize for “Experiments that reveal quantum physics in action”.

Clarke, on Tuesday, told the Nobel press conference on Tuesday. He said.

“I’m talking on my mobile phone and I suspect you are, and one of the reasons underlying the work of the mobile phone is caused by all this.”

‘New Surprises’ in the century area of ​​quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanical behaviors are well examined at the level of incredibly small atoms and subatomic particles – but usually seen as strange and intuitive compared to classical physics and much larger scale.

In the mid -1980s, Nobel winners performed experiments with an electronic circuit made of superconducting, and showed that quantum mechanics may also affect daily objects under certain conditions.

“It is great to celebrate the way of constantly offering new surprises of centuries -old quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is very useful because it is the basis of all digital technology.” He said.

Quantum technology is already everywhere, transistors in computer microchips are a daily example.

“This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics, the award -winning Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, said the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which gave the award, said in a statement to the award -winning Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences,” This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics, quantum encryption, quantum encryption, quantum computers and quantum sensors, including opportunities to develop a new generation quantum technology. “He said.

Two of the winning Trio have connections with Google

He is a professor at the University of California in Berkeley in British, British, British, Clarke.

Born in France, Devoret is the University of California in Santa Barbara in the United States, a professor at Yale University and also a professor of Martinis.

Martinis, an American, chaired Google’s Quantum Artificial Intelligence Laboratory until 2020. On Google, Martinis was a part of the research team, saying that a computer that uses the characteristics of subatomic particles in 2019, which has achieved a much better job than the world’s most powerful super-computer.

In addition to his professor, Devoret is the chief scientist of Google Quantum AI.

Physics Second Nobel Prize was awarded this week

The Nobel Prize in Physics is given by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, as usually, a total of 11 million Swedish crowns ($ 1.2 million) shared among winners.

The Nobel Awards were founded with the will of Alfred Nobel, who gathered a reward of dynamite invention. Since 1901, with occasional interruptions, awards have recognized successes in science, literature and peace every year. The economy later sown.

Physics was the first category mentioned in Nobel’s will, and probably reflected the importance of the field in time. Today, the Nobel Prize in Physics is considered the most prestigious award in discipline.

The past winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics include Albert Einstein, Pierre and Marie Curie, Max Planck and Niels Bohr, some of the most influential figures in the history of science.

Last year’s award was won by US scientist John Hopfield and Anglo-Canadian Geoffrey Hinton for the breakthroughs in the machinery learning that encourages the explosion of artificial intelligence, which is an improvement in which both express concerns.

In accordance with the tradition, physics, two Americans and one Japanese scientist after winning the drug award for the breakthroughs in understanding the immune system, the second Nobel will be rewarded this week. The chemistry prize will come on Wednesday.

Science, Literature and Economic Awards were presented to Laureates by the King of Sweden at a ceremony in Stockholm, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death, and then a generous feast at the Town Hall.

The Peace Prize, which will be announced on Friday, was awarded with a separate ceremony in Oslo.

(1 $ = 9.3898 Swedish crowns)
