Novel materials: Beyond conventional superconductors

Recent years have witnessed a surge in the discovery and characterization of novel superconducting materials that defy the limitations of traditional superconductors. From iron-based superconductors to topological superconductors, researchers are exploring a diverse array of compounds and structures that exhibit unconventional superconducting behavior. These novel materials not only challenge our existing theories of superconductivity but also offer unique properties and potential applications, from quantum computing to energy storage [4].

Unconventional phenomena: From topology to quantum entanglement

In addition to novel materials, researchers are investigating unconventional phenomena that emerge in superconducting systems. Topological superconductivity, for example, explores the interplay between superconductivity and exotic quantum states of matter, potentially leading to robust qubits for quantum computing and exotic excitations known as Majorana fermions. Furthermore, the exploration of quantum entanglement in superconducting circuits offers insights into the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and paves the way for quantum information processing and communication technologies [5].
