# This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to the Americans, John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for their groundbreaking experiments demonstrating quantum mechanical effects in a hand-sized electrical circuit. The laureates will share 18-million-rand. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences’ Olle Eriksson says the trio proved that quantum tunnelling and energy quantisation can occur on a macroscopic scale, bridging the gap between microscopic quantum theory and everyday objects:
