Gravitomagnetic Fields in Rotating Superconductors to Solve Tate's Cooper Pair Mass Anomaly

TL;DR

This paper reviews recent theoretical approaches suggesting that rotating superconductors can produce non-classical gravitomagnetic fields, potentially explaining the Cooper-pair mass anomaly observed by Tate, and indicating experimental signs of quantum gravitational effects.

Contribution

It presents a review of new theoretical models proposing gravitomagnetic fields in rotating superconductors as a solution to Tate's Cooper-pair mass anomaly.

Findings

Tate's experiment shows a discrepancy with quantum theory predictions.

Theoretical models suggest gravitomagnetic fields in superconductors differ from classical expectations.

Evidence indicates possible quantum gravitational effects in rotating superconductors.

Abstract

Superconductors have often been used to claim gravitational anomalies in the context of breakthrough propulsion. The experiments could not be reproduced by others up to now, and the theories were either shown to be wrong or are often based on difficult to prove assumptions. We will show that superconductors indeed could be used to produce non-classical gravitational fields, based on the established disagreement between theoretical prediction and measured Cooper-pair mass in Niobium. Tate et al failed to measure the Cooper-pair mass in Niobium as predicted by quantum theory. This has been discussed in the literature without any apparent solution. Based on the work from DeWitt to include gravitomagnetism in the canonical momentum of Cooper-pairs, the authors published a number of papers discussing a possibly involved gravitomagnetic field in rotating superconductors to solve Tate's measured anomaly. Although one possibility to match Tate's measurement, a number of reasons were developed by the authors over the last years to show that the gravitomagnetic field in a rotating quantum material must be different from its classical value and that Tate's result is actually the first experimental sign for it. This paper reviews the latest theoretical approaches to solve the Tate Cooper-pair anomaly based on gravitomagnetic fields in rotating superconductors.
