In October 2025, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis for their groundbreaking work on quantum tunneling, which demonstrated that macroscopic circuits can behave like quantum entities. This breakthrough laid the foundation for quantum computing advancements, including Google's quantum chip, Willow, which achieved a calculation in five minutes that would take classical supercomputers ten septillion years. Google subsequently acquired At...
