Michel Henri Devoret is a French-American physicist, born in Paris in 1953, who trained as a telecommunications engineer before taking his doctorate in quantum condensed matter physics at the University of Orsay. After a postdoctoral stay with John Clarke at Berkeley, where he worked with John M. Martinis, he founded the Quantronics group at CEA Saclay and later held a chair at the Collège de France and a professorship at Yale University. He is known for superconducting qubit designs including the quantronium, the transmon and the fluxonium, and he is now Professor of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics.
