More than deserved!

Both Devoret and Martinis are also highly involved in pushing quantum engineering to new levels - Devoret at Google Quantum AI and Martinis (formerly at Google) with his company, Qolab.

Coincidentally, I have a close friend doing his PhD with Devoret and know someone working with Martinis. I am curious to see if they will ever see their respective supervisors again, given that the Nobel Prize attention will likely garner them countless invitations for talks and keynotes...

Invitations is one thing I think they can mostly pick on their own volition with one exception.

The prize rules stipulate that they need to hold one lecture related to their winning topic with the institution that picked the winner within 6 months.

Iirc the 2024 physics prize lecture (on the roots of neural networks) was held in the days just before the prize giving ceremony and can be watched on the Swedish broadcasters "education" channel as well as youtube.

Definitely agree! It's just strange seeing Devoret without Schoelkopf!

And Girvin as the third one of their Yale effort!
