Google CEO Sundar Pichai congratulates quantum scientist Michel Devoret on Nobel Prize win

Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, celebrated quantum scientist Michel Devoret's Nobel Prize win in Physics. Devoret, Google's Chief Scientist of Quantum Hardware, received the award for his work on macroscopic quantum effects. Devoret shared the Nobel with John Martinis and John Clarke for their foundational research in the 1980s, which paved the way for error-corrected quantum computers. Pichai highlighted Google's progress in quantum computing built upon this work. The announcement led to social media reactions congratulating Devoret and noting Google's growing number of Nobel laureates. Devoret was recognized for discovering macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in electric circuits.
