Congratulations! John Clarke provided the amplifiers for ADMX G2, improving the experiment's sensitivity to axions. His quantum research also lays the foundation for important work in quantum information science today, including research being conducted @sqmscenter.
Congratulations to John Clarke (formerly @BerkeleyLab), Michel Devoret, & John M. Martinis for receiving the 2025 Nobel Prize in physics! Their research on quantum effects, supported by @doescience, will set the stage for next-gen quantum tech.

Physicists will use Mu2e to search for the never-observed direct conversion of a muon into an electron. The calorimeter is a subdetector of the Mu2e experiment that will help scientists to confirm that a signal is indeed an electron if a muon-to-electron conversion happens.
