SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the potential of phonon lasers to enhance superconductivity by pumping coherent phonons at specific frequencies. Participants emphasize the necessity of demonstrating both the feasibility and successful implementation of this concept. The conversation highlights the importance of coherent phonon manipulation in achieving higher critical temperatures (Tc) for superconductors. Key references include the theoretical framework surrounding phonon lasers and their application in superconductivity research.

Is it possible to create/improve superconductivity (and/or increase Tc) by pumping in coherent phonons with proper frequency (kind of phonon laser)?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Before trying to apply something to do another task, one must first (i) be able to show that that something is possible and (ii) show that that something has been accomplished.

So have you read anything about "pumping coherent phonons" that satisfies both criteria?
