Eleonora Svanberg, a PhD student in mathematics at the University of Oxford, sits down with 2025 physics laureate John Martinis for a conversation about curiosity, discovery and the future of quantum technology.
Martinis reflects on the choices that led him to exploring quantum mechanical behaviour and discusses his groundbreaking work – conducted with co-laureates Michel Devoret and John Clarke – demonstrating quantum phenomena on a macroscopic scale.
