Scientists Who Brought Quantum Weirdness to the Real World Win Nobel Prize in Physics

In brief A trio of scientists shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for proving quantum behavior can occur in ordinary circuits. Their 1980s experiments enabled superconducting qubits—the foundation of today’s quantum computers. The prize, decades after discovery, affirms the long arc from lab curiosity to industry-defining technology. Three scientists whose experiments proved that the...
