New Delhi: Google CEO Sundar Pichai congratulated Michel Devoret, John Martinis, and John Clarke after they were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics, in a post on X. Sundar Pichai has written that, “Feeling lucky this morning to work at a company that has 5 Nobel Laureates among our ranks with three prizes and 2 years!”. He also stated that Devoret is the chief scientist of hardware at Google Quantum AI Lab, while Martinis led the lab’s hardware team for many years. He also praised their early research in the 1980s, saying it paved the way for recent advances and future error-corrected quantum computers.
Congrats to Michel Devoret, John Martinis, and John Clarke on the Nobel Prize in Physics. 🔬🥼 Michel is chief scientist of hardware at our Quantum AI lab and John Martinis led the hardware team for many years.
Their pioneering work in quantum mechanics in the 1980s made recent…

Sundar Pichai has also highlighted his visit to the Santa Barbara quantum lab day earlier, calling the progress incredible and noting that Google now counts five Nobel laureates among its current and former staff. Over the past two years, five scientists linked to Google have received Nobel recognition. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and John Jumper won the 2024 Chemistry Prize for their work on protein structure prediction.
Michel Devoret, awarded this year’s Physics Prize, leads hardware research at Google’s Quantum AI lab. Among the Google alums, Geoff Hinton received the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to AI, while John Martinis shared the 2025 Physics Prize for his leadership in quantum hardware. So, with this good news, Sundar Pichai loved to work at Google after so many years. Google is making its steps forward in technology, where they are going beyond people’s thinking, which is a good thing for them.
