IMT<\/a> is proud to celebrate the awarding of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics to Michel Devoret<\/a>, a graduate of T\u00e9l\u00e9com Paris<\/a> (Class of 1975) \u2014 one of IMT\u2019s eight Technological Universities in engineering.
He shares this prestigious distinction with John Clarke and John M. Martinis, \u201cfor the discovery of macroscopic quantum tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electrical circuit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michel Devoret, a French Engineer, is currently Professor of Applied Physics at Yale University (USA), Director of the Nanofabrication Laboratory in Applied Physics, and Scientific Director at Google Quantum AI.
His pioneering research on Josephson quantum circuits and circuit quantum electrodynamics has profoundly transformed our understanding of the microscopic world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quantum Physics Shaping the Digital Future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The work conducted by Michel Devoret and his co-laureates has demonstrated that the laws of quantum mechanics can manifest at our scale \u2014 in superconducting circuits that can fit in the palm of a hand.
This transition from the microscopic to the macroscopic has opened an entirely new scientific field: quantronics<\/strong>, or the quantum physics of circuits \u2014 the foundation of tomorrow\u2019s quantum technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michel Devoret<\/a>\u2019s career perfectly illustrates the mission of our Technological Universities: to train engineers and researchers capable of imagining, understanding, and transforming the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cHis career exemplifies the very values our school seeks to instil: scientific rigour, intellectual boldness, and a passion for exploring the frontiers of knowledge,\u201d
says Patrick Olivier, Dean of T\u00e9l\u00e9com Paris<\/a><\/strong>.
\u201cHis discoveries on quantum tunnelling have opened fascinating perspectives for future research and technologies related to quantum science.
They are a source of inspiration for our students and faculty, who are conducting research directly linked to these fields \u2014 from quantum cryptography to quantum sensors and computing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
