Discoveries that enabled quantum computers to win the Nobel Prize in physics
SMRTR summary
Three physicists won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics for demonstrating quantum effects in electric circuits large enough to hold, involving billions of electrons rather than individual atoms as previously expected. John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis showed quantum tunneling and energy quantization in superconducting circuits during the 1980s, discoveries that became the foundation for today's quantum computer qubits used by tech companies worldwide.
