John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis receive the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments demonstrating quantum tunneling in macroscopic circuits. Their mid-1980s work laid the foundation for superconducting quantum computers. The laureates expressed great surprise at the award.
Ultracold atomic clocks probe quantum effects on time
1 Mwezi wa kumi, 2025 Imeripotiwa na AI
Scientists have developed highly precise ultracold atomic clocks that could detect how quantum physics influences the flow of time. By cooling atoms to near absolute zero, these devices aim to measure subtle time variations predicted by quantum theory. The research, published in Nature Communications, opens new avenues for testing fundamental physics.
