Engineering Room-Temperature Superconductors Using Quantum Simulation

Superconductors have the potential to revolutionize energy, computing, and transportation—but their reliance on near-absolute-zero temperatures limits practical deployment. Automatski leverages its advanced 300+ Qubit Quantum Simulators to design and validate superconducting materials operable at room temperature, enabling real-world breakthroughs across industries today.
Superconductors
Introduction
Superconductivity is a quantum phenomenon where electrical resistance drops to absolute zero, allowing current to flow indefinitely without energy loss. First discovered in mercury at cryogenic temperatures, the challenge has always been to achieve this effect at ambient conditions. Traditional superconductors require extreme cooling, making large-scale deployment costly and impractical

Superconductivity is a remarkable quantum phenomenon first uncovered by Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. While studying how mercury conducts electricity at extremely low temperatures, he made a groundbreaking discovery: at around 2 Kelvin (–271.15°C), mercury’s electrical resistance suddenly vanished. Completely. Zero resistance.

In typical conductors, lowering the temperature reduces resistance—but never eliminates it. Electrons always bump into something. But in this state, mercury let current flow in a perfect loop, without any external voltage, potentially forever—so long as it remained cold enough. This led to its recognition as one of the first superconductors.

It was a discovery that opened the door to a new world of physics—one where electrons move without friction, and energy loss in transmission becomes a thing of the past.

Room-Temperature Superconductors

Room-temperature superconductivity is widely regarded as one of the most transformative goals in physics. While there have been experimental demonstrations under extreme pressure or energy conditions, a scalable, ambient solution remains elusive to the scientific community.

However, Automatski’s 300+ Qubit Quantum Simulators offer an unprecedented capability: the ability to design, simulate, and engineer room-temperature superconductors using quantum mechanics at full scale—today.
