Superconductivity is the ability of an electronic material to conduct electrical current without resistance. This property underpins many existing and proposed technological applications, ranging from medical imaging to low-energy electronics and quantum computing. In this project, we aim to demonstrate a highly unconventional route towards superconductivity at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, by exploiting collective behaviour of excitons (electron-hole pairs in a semiconductor) strongly coupled to photons. This research should help to overcome the biggest challenge for the widespread applications of superconductors: the very low temperature or extreme pressure that the superconducting materials need to function.

超导性是指电子材料无电阻传导电流的能力。这一特性支撑了许多现有的和拟议的技术应用，从医学成像到低能量电子和量子计算。在这个项目中，我们的目标是通过利用激子（半导体中的电子-空穴对）与光子强耦合的集体行为，展示一种在室温和常压下实现超导性的高度非常规途径。这项研究将有助于克服超导体广泛应用所面临的最大挑战：超导体所需的极低温度或极低压力。
