Quantum Tunneling Goes Big: The Tiny Circuit Experiment That Won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics

By analogy, an electron trapped in a low-energy state cannot classically overcome a higher-energy barrier. But quantum mechanics allows for a spooky exception: the particle can sometimes “tunnel” through the barrier and appear on the other side, as if by ghostly permission of probabilitynobelprize.orgnobelprize.org.
