Quantum Computing Technologies GroupPol Forn-Díaz comments on the Nobel Prize in Physics in superconducting circuits, the field his group works in
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis for their pioneering experiments demonstrating quantum behavior in superconducting circuits — the physical foundation that makes superconducting qubits possible.
At IFAE, the Quantum Computing Technologies (QCT) group, led by Pol Forn-Díaz, works precisely in this field, developing and studying superconducting quantum circuits based on the same principles recognized by the Nobel Prize.
Pol Forn-Díaz was featured in the Science Media Centre “reactions” section to the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics and interviewed by Diari Ara about his research on superconducting quantum circuits, both in the online and print editions of the newspaper.
