**Stockholm, Sweden** – John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis, all based in the United States, have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for their groundbreaking discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced Tuesday.
The Nobel committee lauded the winners for opening doors to the next generation of quantum technology. Their work has paved the way for advancements in fields like quantum cryptography, quantum computing, and quantum sensors.
The prestigious prize, worth 11 million Swedish crowns ($1.2 million), will be shared among the three laureates. The Nobel Prize in Physics is considered the highest honor in the field, recognizing pioneering work that has significantly impacted scientific understanding.
The Nobel Prizes were established by Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, and have been awarded annually since 1901 to recognize outstanding achievements in science, literature, and peace. Physics was the first category specified in Nobel’s will, highlighting its importance during his lifetime.
This year’s Physics prize follows the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, awarded to researchers for advancements in understanding the immune system. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry will be announced on Wednesday. The science, literature, and economics prizes will be presented in Stockholm on December 10th, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death. The Peace Prize will be awarded in Oslo.
