The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three pioneering scientists who achieved a feat once thought impossible: making the 'bizarre phenomena of quantum physics' observable on a macroscopic scale.
For years, the mind-bending laws of quantum mechanics—the same laws that govern tiny atoms—were believed to break down when applied to the everyday world. Now, John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis have completely redefined the boundaries of this century-old science.
