Quantized Energy Levels

Stockholm, October 7, 2025: The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to American scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for their pioneering work on quantum phenomena in electrical circuits, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced on Tuesday.The trio was recognised for their groundbreaking demonstration of large-scale quantum tunneling and quantized energy levels in electrical circuits — effects previously thought impossible in macroscopic systems.In classical physics, objects bounce off barriers, but in the quantum realm, particles can sometimes pass through obstacles, a phenomenon known as quantum tunneling. Clarke, Devoret, and Martinis successfully observed this effect in…
