Michel H. Devore

scientist

Michel H. Devore is a prominent French physicist recognized for his groundbreaking research in quantum mechanics, particularly in the field of macroscopic quantum tunneling. Together with his colleagues John Clarke and John M. Martinis, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2025 for their pioneering experiments that demonstrated quantum effects in electrical circuits composed of superconductors. Their work revealed that quantum mechanical phenomena can manifest at a macroscopic scale, challenging previous notions about the limitations of quantum effects. This discovery not only deepens our understanding of quantum mechanics but also paves the way for advancements in quantum technologies, including quantum computing and cryptography.
