Forty years ago, a series of experiments demonstrated that the bizarre properties of the quantum world can be made concrete in a system big enough to be held in your hand.
John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis – all at different points in their careers – collaborated to make this groundbreaking discovery.
Join us as host Adam Smith speaks with the 2025 physics laureates about the importance of following your curiosity, the future of practical quantum computers and the special combination of personalities and skills that led to their successful collaboration.
Nobel Prize Conversations with the 2025 physics laureates John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis.
