We show how one can use superconductors and Josephson junctions to create a laboratory system which can explore the groundstates of the free electromagnetic field in a 3-manifold with torsion in its cohomology.

Gauging in superconductors and other electronic systems
hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

Superconductors are bosonic at low energy yet carry a gravito-magnetic anomaly from fermion parity gauging that forbids trivial massive phases in 3D and 4D.
