International Desk, Bangladesh Global: The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis for their work on quantum mechanics that is paving the way for a new generation of very powerful computers. All three men have been Professors at the University of California.

"There is no advanced technology used today that does not rely on quantum mechanics, including mobile phones, cameras... and fibre optic cables," said the Nobel committee. The announcement was made by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences at a news conference in Stockholm, Sweden.

The Nobel committee recognised breakthrough work performed by the three men in a series of experiments in the 1980s on electrical circuits. But its implications have been profound and far-reaching. The electronic devices that most of use rely on it, and the findings are being used to build extremely powerful computers.

Quantum mechanics is related to the behaviour of tiny things in a tiny world. It refers to what particles like the electron do in the sub-atomic world.
