2025 Nobel Prize in Physics Winners Announced: Quantum Discoveries

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics Awardees Announced

In a press conference held by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the recipients of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics were revealed. This year, the award was given to notable scientists like John Clarke (UK/USA), Michel Devoret (France), and John Martinis (USA).

Quantum Mechanical Tunneling Studies

The awarded scientists were recognized for their groundbreaking work on macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling in electrical circuits and energy quantization. These discoveries have brought a new breath to modern physics and engineering.

Last Year's Winners

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Hopfield (USA) and Geoffrey Hinton (UK/Canada) for their successful work on artificial neural networks and machine learning in the field of artificial intelligence.

General Information About Nobel Prizes

The Nobel Prizes, first awarded in 1901, are presented to individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to humanity, based on the will of Swedish scientist Alfred Nobel. These prizes are awarded in the fields of physics, chemistry, literature, peace, and medicine to the most qualified individuals.

In 1971, the Nobel Prize in Economics was also established in the field of economics. Additionally, every year, the awards are ceremoniously presented to their recipients on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death.

Looking at the history of the prize, since 1901, there have been consecutive cancellations during the First and Second World Wars, and the award ceremonies could not be held in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
