Abstract
Tidal gravitational fields affect the Cooper‐pair electrons and lattice ions of a type I superconductor differently. The quantum nonlocalizability of the Cooper pairs, which will remain coherent in the presence of interacting fields corresponding to frequencies less than that of the Bardeen‐Cooper‐Schrieffer (BCS) gap frequency, causes the superconducting electrons to undergo non‐classical, non‐geodesic motion, in contrast to the classical, geodesic motion of the lattice ions. The ensuing relative motion between the electrons and the ionic lattice causes a charge separation that leads to a measurable voltage potential when a macroscopic, quantum‐coherent superconducting system undergoes free fall in the Earth’s inhomogeneous gravitational field. Theoretical and experimental implications will be discussed.
