Chronoquantistics invites us to reflect on a century of discoveries that have reshaped not only physics but the human experience. From the probabilistic revolutions of 1925 to the dawn of quantum computing and sensing, the quantum world has evolved into a chronicle of intertwined timelines — scientific, technological, and philosophical. This article traces the temporal symmetries that link Planck’s quanta to today’s quantum networks, exploring how our understanding of time, causality, and measurement has deepened alongside our tools for manipulating the quantum realm. Beyond circuits and algorithms, Chronoquantistics proposes a unifying lens through which to view the next era of quantum innovation: one where humanity’s mastery of uncertainty becomes its most powerful technology for shaping the future.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 has been awarded to John Clarke, John Martinis, and Michel Devoret for "the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit". The paper explains the essence of their studies and shows in a historical context the importance of earlier research in superconductivity and quantum physics of macroscopic systems by other physicists, particularly, Ukrainian scientists, including employees of the B. Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the NAS of Ukraine (ILTPE). The role of the Fizyka Nyzkykh Temperatur (FNT) journal issued by ILTPE in Kharkiv and its translation as AIP Low Temperature Physics (LTP) in dissemination of results of the theoretical and experimental studies in the field is emphasized as well.
