California winner of Nobel Prize in Physics 'absolutely stunned' with award<br /><br />The physics department at the University of California, Berkeley celebrated physicist John Clarke on Tuesday, October 7, the recipient of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. <br /><br />Clarke won the award with Michel Devoret and John Martinis for "experiments that revealed quantum physics in action," paving the way for the development of the next generation of digital technologies.<br /><br />"I was absolutely stunned. Never occurred to me in my entire life that I’d win a prize like this,” Clarke told a room full of current and past students, faculty, postdocs and more from the department on the university's campus in Berkeley, California.<br /><br />Quantum mechanical behaviors are well studied at the level of the incredibly small - atoms and sub-atomic particles - but are often seen as bizarre and unintuitive compared with classical physics and its far larger scale.<br /><br />REUTERS VIDEO<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein <br />Soundcloud: https://tmt.ph/soundcloud <br /><br />#themanilatimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#worldnews<br />
