Superconductivity is a phenomenon where electrical resistance drops to zero at low temperatures, making it promising for applications such as lossless energy storage. Recently, it has also been used as an element in quantum computers, with potential applications across various fields. The biggest challenge in advancing these real-world applications is the low temperature at which superconductivity occurs. To address this issue, we aim to elucidate the mechanisms of superconductivity through theoretical calculations and design superconducting materials that operate at higher temperatures.
