Test of the superluminality of supercurrents induced by a local electric field in a superconducting-core coaxial cable

TL;DR

This paper proposes an experiment to test whether supercurrents in a superconductor can propagate faster than light, challenging conventional understanding of supercurrent dynamics.

Contribution

It introduces a novel experimental setup to empirically test superluminal supercurrents in superconductors, based on previous theoretical predictions.

Findings

Design of an experimental test for superluminal supercurrents

Potential validation or refutation of superluminal supercurrent predictions

Implications for superconductivity and quantum physics

Abstract

An experiment is proposed to test the prediction that induced supercurrents in a superconductor can become superluminal, as was predicted in the paper by S.J. Minter, K. Wegter-McNelly, R.Y. Chiao, Physica E 42 (2010) 234.
