Abstract
Superconductivity research has traditionally been discovery driven. Of course, Tc is a non-universal quantity that cannot be predicted, hence off-limits to theorists. Nevertheless, it must be possible to reach intelligent predictions for superconductors that are interesting for reasons other than high Tc per se. Of particular interest are topological superconductors under pursuit as a platform for quantum computing. Here, I will present the strategy of using the spin-spin correlation of quantum spin ice to achieve topological superconductivity at the interface between metal and quantum spin ice.
