The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the awarding of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics to British scientist John Clarke, French scientist Michel Devoret, and American scientist John Martinis in recognition of their pioneering contributions to the development of superconducting quantum computing systems.

According to Sky News, the Academy stated that the three laureates are affiliated with the University of California and will share the prize amounting to 11 million Swedish kronor, approximately 1.1 million US dollars. The awards will be presented at a ceremony held on December 10 in Stockholm, coinciding with the anniversary of the death of the prize’s founder, Alfred Nobel.

The victory of Clarke, Devoret, and Martinis continues the recent trend of the Nobel Prizes honoring research that blends theoretical physics with advanced technological applications, especially in the fields of quantum materials and supercomputing.
