Physicist and 2025 Nobel Prize winner John Martinis will speak at Shannon Hall in the Memorial Union on March 23. Martinis will discuss his Nobel Prize-winning research on quantum computing as part of the Wisconsin Union Directorate Distinguished Lecture Series Committee’s free lecture lineup.
In 2025, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in physics to Martinis for his work on the development of superconducting quantum circuits and experimental research in quantum information science.
The event, “John Martinis: Engineering the Quantum Future,” is a Donald Kerst Lecture Series Event, and will feature a 60-minute lecture followed by a 30-minute audience Q&A.
Tickets will be available to students and the public on March 16 at 2 p.m., with a limit of one ticket per person. Registration for the event will be available on the Wisconsin campus arts ticketing page.
