U.S.-based scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics for ¡°experiments that revealed quantum physics in action,¡± the award-giving body said on Tuesday.

¡°This year¡¯s Nobel Prize in Physics has provided opportunities for developing the next generation of quantum technology, including quantum cryptography, quantum computers, and quantum sensors,¡± the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in a statement.

The Nobel winners carried out experiments in the mid-1980s with an electronic circuit built of superconductors and demonstrated that quantum mechanical properties could be made concrete on a much larger, macroscopic scale.
