This article discusses a study leveraging the Summit supercomputer to unravel the complex mechanisms of copper-based superconductors, focusing on their behavior at relatively high temperatures. These superconductors allow electricity to flow without resistance, offering transformative potential for energy-efficient electronics. Researchers modeled interactions between electrons and phonons (vibrational energy units in materials) to understand their unique properties, performing one of the largest computational analyses in this domain. The findings shed light on the “self-energy” of electrons, paving the way for developing more efficient superconductors that could revolutionize electronic and energy systems. The study highlights the role of advanced computational resources in solving fundamental physics challenges.
