California winner of Nobel Prize in Physics 'absolutely stunned' with award  The physics department at the University of California, Berkeley celebrated physicist John Clarke on Tuesday, October 7, the recipient of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics.   Clarke won the award with Michel Devoret and John Martinis for "experiments that revealed quantum physics in action," paving the way for the development of the next generation of digital technologies.  "I was absolutely stunned. Never occurred to me in my entire life that I’d win a prize like this,” Clarke told a room full of current and past students, faculty, postdocs and more from the department on the university's campus in Berkeley, California.  Quantum mechanical behaviors are well studied at the level of the incredibly small - atoms and sub-atomic particles - but are often seen as bizarre and unintuitive compared with classical physics and its far larger scale.

00:00But I can only say that, again, the fact that I won this prize

00:09was due to all their very hard work, but also their brilliance.

00:18I mean, these two extraordinarily brilliant people who I am very proud to have had in my career.

00:24And within half a minute, I learned that I had won this share of this Nobel Prize,

00:31along with Michel Devere and John Martinez.

00:35I was absolutely stunned.

00:37It never occurred to me in my entire life that I would win a prize.

00:42Most of you are familiar with the fact that John's had a number of illustrious protagonists

00:49at Berkeley, given the progress we've been making in the tremendous figure in our department

01:00since the late 1960s.

01:02He's not only a fantastic researcher, he was also a marvelous educator.

01:09And as he pointed out in the press conference today, he taught every semester

01:15while he was doing this groundbreaking work.

01:18He was tremendously committed to education.

01:45and he was the student at Berkeley.

01:46He wasALKING AMERIC.

01:47He was also a professor of the DIRECTION.

01:48He was actually a part of the program, for his job.

01:49Also, I need to have ai-to-driven program.

01:52He's also a leader.

01:53And he's a leader.

01:54He's a leader.

01:56he's a leader.

01:57And by the end of the day, he's a leader.

01:58He's a leader.

01:59He's a leader.
