John M. Martinis

It's a real milestone.

And the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics went to three men, John Clarke, Michel Devereux, and John Martinis, for experiments they did in California in the 1980s, showing that an electrical circuit you can hold in your hand, made of billions of atoms, can behave as a single quantum object.

It can tunnel.

It has rungs.

That's g- the parallel of quantum innovation.

Forty years after that, John Martinis down there pioneered taking quantum effects and building them into a device to capture that behavior.

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics just last year for that discovery, that breakthrough.

But forty years, quantum phenomena are tough to harvest and tough to work with.

That's, uh, g- the parallel of quantum innovation.

Well, it is, uh, it is fascinating to, to, to see how the, particularly in the last, uh, last few years, uh, development is, is, is accelerating, right? And then also not, not the least in, uh, support with, uh, um, AI, right? With, uh, m- machine learning.

Uh, but also, for example, um, something that Professor John Martinis, uh, he's a, actually an advisory board member of, of, of our quantum center, and he also said, so this is kind of i, i, i like this here.

He predicted, uh, or he is, is one of the guys who's really pushing towards putting a quantum computer on a chip.

And then he's, he was fascinated by this, this whole line of work and then, but also by how much, how much effort and how much pressure is being put in into miniaturization of the, of, of those systems.

Addressing the news conference in Stockholm by phone from Italy, he emphasized that his work was the result of a, quote, large collaboration, end quote, with other researchers.

John Clark, Michelle H. DeVore, and John M. Martinis shared the prize for work that made the behaviors of subatomic world observable in a system large enough to see in the naked eye.

That was the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2025.

Carl Daisroth, Peter Hegemann, and Jörg Nagel were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Monday for their discovery of a transformative neuroscience tool that one day may lead to a treatment for blindness.
