Local affection of weak gravitational field from supercondensates

Abstract We study the mutual interaction between a superconducting sample and the weak, static Earth’s gravitational field, exploiting the gravito-Maxwell formalism combined with the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model. We will also determine the appropriate conditions to enhance the desired gravity/superfluid interplay, analysing the effects of thermal fluctuations and optimizing the superconductor parameters and sample geometry.
