7:44Now PlayingNeil deGrasse Tyson, joined by co-host Chuck Nice, speaks with physicist and Nobel Prize laureate John Martinis about how quantum tunneling can occur in macroscopic electrical circuits. The conversation explains how superconducting circuits obey quantum mechanics, why this discovery mattered enough to earn a Nobel Prize decades later, and how it ultimately enabled the development of quantum computers.
