"This morning, Michel Devoret, currently at Google as Chief Scientist of Quantum Hardware on the Quantum AI team, has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics. The prize is for his work on macroscopic quantum effects that laid the foundation for modern superconducting qubit-based quantum computing. Michel shares the honor with John Martinis, former hardware leader at Google Quantum AI, and John Clarke of the University of California, Berkeley."

"Michel and John's work enabled our progress so far, including the breakthrough Willow quantum chip we announced last year, and our 2019 milestone demonstrating that a quantum computer could complete a benchmark calculation impossible on a classical computer. It’s also guiding our path forward, as we progress on our hardware roadmap and advance our mission to build quantum computing for otherwise unsolvable problems."

"The company now celebrates five Nobel laureates, including three prizes in the past two years."
