Nobel Prize in Physics goes to work on quantum mechanics

The Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to John Clarke, John M. Martinis and Michel H. Devoret for their advances in quantum mechanics. Their research explores the quantum tunneling effect, where particles pass through barriers, and the quantization of energy in electrical circuits. This work demonstrates that quantum phenomena, usually microscopic, can be observed in macroscopic systems. This fundamental breakthrough paves the way for tomorrow's quantum technologies: quantum computers, cryptography and sensors.
