The surprise of the year: a Nobel prize for discovering macrosopic quantum tunnelling!
I must confess that the work of Nobel prize winners John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit” (see this) came as a total surprise for me.
Macroscopic quantum coherence is what makes possible quantum tunnelling in macroscopic scales but the value of Planck constant h is too small to make it plausible.
I have been talking about macroscopic quantum coherence for decades as a basic prediction of Topological Geometrodynamics (TGD). TGD forces us to generalize the standard quantum theory. One prediction is the spectrum h_eff=nh_0 of effective Planck constants as multiples of the minimal value h_0 of Planck constant which is smaller than h. It however seems that the multiples h_eff=nh are the most important ones. Quantum coherence becomes possible in even astrophysical scales and would play a central role in the TGD inspired quantum biology.
An interesting question is whether the macroscopic quantum coherence observed in the quantum tunnelling can be really explained in terms of ordinary quantum mechanics or whether TGD is required.
