[Global Times-Global Network Report Special Correspondent Yin Miao] The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced on the 7th that it will award the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics to John Clark, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis, in recognition of his "discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in circuits."

The jury believes that the winners have proved through a series of experiments that the strange characteristics of the quantum world can be embodied in a system large enough to be held in your hands. Their superconducting electrical system can tunnel from one state into another as if it were going straight through a wall. They also show that the system absorbs and emits energy at a dose of a specific magnitude, as predicted by quantum mechanics.

John Clarke was born in Cambridge, England in 1942. He received a PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1968. Professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

Michel H Devoret, born in 1953 in Paris, France. 1982 Ph.D., University of Paris-Sud, France. Professor, Yale University and University of California, Santa Barbara, New Haven, CT, USA.

John M Martinis, born 1958. 1987 PhD, University of California, Berkeley, USA. Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA.
