“for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit” Did you know? Quantum tunnelling usually happens to single particles, but in experiments at UC Berkeley in 1984–85 Clarke, Devoret and Martinis saw a whole superconducting circuit on a chip about a centimetre across behave like one quantum object. That idea is the basis of today's superconducting quantum computers, and Martinis later led Google's quantum hardware team.
