Devoret and Michele worked for Clark when they did the research at Berkeley.

Sorry, I meant Devoret and Martinis.

They just announced Nobel winner in Chemistry. 1 of the 3 winners is at a US university, and he is... an immigrant from Jordan.

He is at Berkeley.

He did his most important work at ASU, Michigan and UCLA before moving to Berkeley.

What does “most of important work” mean? He only did trivial amount of work at UCB?

Good for them, should make leaving the US all the easier.

He got the job at Berkeley because he'd already done really impressive work. That groundbreaking work was done at those other institutions. That's the work that won him the Prize.

It wasn't like UCB took a bet on a young researcher and nurtured his research. They used their budget and reputation to hire someone already super impressive.

If you're choosing a research institution for your PhD, you want to think about where you can do the most interesting work. It's not always the big shiny institution where the researcher is located when they win accolades, but in the labs at less prestigious institutions that are generating the work that will be awarded prizes in 10-30 years.

The physicists all did their work at UCB though.

Yes, the core discovery was made at UCB in 1985 by a professor, grad student and post doc. The grad student and post doc went on to have careers at many other institutions and companies. Those two didn't stay at UCB, but the professor did spend his career at UCB.

+1, Princeton and Berkeley are two schools where this is very rare. They buy talent.

The Nobel prize isn't an American award.

Isn’t Berkeley’s “alumni” Nobel count at 37 at this point. How did they “buy” that talent?

What's gross is the political environment in the US.

NP. The work cited in the prize announcement.
