The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for demonstrating that quantum phenomena—such as tunnelling and energy quantization—can occur not only at microscopic scales, but also in engineered macroscopic systems.
This article explores how superconducting circuits make such effects observable and usable, and why this breakthrough marks a foundational step toward practical quantum computers.
By bridging the quantum and classical worlds, these experiments redefine the limits of both physics and technology.
