The Prognosis: Quantum Physics Meets the Womb
From quantum tunneling in superconducting circuits to listening to a baby’s heartbeat before birth.
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics went to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for something that sounds abstract but touches the real world in surprising ways. Their experiments, begun in the 1980s, proved that the weird rules of quantum physics—normally reserved for atoms and subatomic particles—can also appear in systems big enough to hold in…
