Celebrating the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics

The American Institute of Physics is thrilled to congratulate the 2025 Nobel Prize winners in Physics: John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis. Their pioneering work in macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in electric circuits has earned them this prestigious recognition. This breakthrough connects quantum mechanics’ core principles with modern quantum computing, marking a milestone moment embraced by AIP.

This year’s award coincides with the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, underscoring the continued relevance of foundational quantum research. Their work with Josephson junctions illustrates quantum principles at a tangible scale, playing a crucial role in advancing quantum computing, sensing, and cryptography. Richard Fitzgerald, of AIP’s Physics Today, highlighted the implications of bridging microscale quantum phenomena with real-world applications.

Meet the 2025 Nobel Laureates

John Clarke, an emeritus professor at UC Berkeley, has been a leader in superconducting research for decades, earning accolades worldwide. Michel H. Devoret of Yale is renowned for his expertise in circuit quantum electrodynamics, while John M. Martinis, formerly with Google, has advanced groundbreaking quantum computing projects. Together, these individuals continue to push the boundaries of what we know about the quantum world.

AIP Publishing, through its chief publishing officer, Penelope Lewis, expressed great admiration for the laureates, praising their contributions that stretch quantum principles into conventional domains, like superconducting systems, laying solid ground for future innovations.
