Michel H Devoret, awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, demonstrated in the 1980s that quantum mechanics’ unusual properties could appear in visible electrical circuits, enabling superconducting qubits. His work underpins quantum computing, now advancing rapidly at Google, promising breakthroughs in drug discovery, materials science, and problems unsolvable by classical computers.
