U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s Post

Congratulations to John Clarke, a former senior scientist at Berkeley Lab, Michel Devoret at Yale University, and John M. Martinis at UC Santa Barbara for receiving the 2025 #Nobel Prize in physics! While scientists usually observe quantum mechanical properties on the smallest of scales, their research showed that these effects could be observed in a system that’s big enough to hold in your hand. Their work on quantum effects in superconductors that was supported by DOE’s Office of Science set the foundation for advances in quantum computers, cryptography, and sensors. In addition, Devoret is currently supported by DOE’s Co-Design Center for Quantum Advantage led by Brookhaven National Laboratory. https://lnkd.in/gCydBCiW
