Er.. no it doesn't. The energy scale calculation is VERY rough. Just look at how the CuO planes are approximated.
Again, when something this "far out" are on ArXiv, we need to show a bit of restraint in "advertising" such a thing. Let's wait and see if it gets published first. There have been way too many "red herrings" as far as high-Tc superconductors go.

I'm skeptical even with the "may" part.

FAQ: Casimir Effect may explain High Temperature Superconductivity
How does the Casimir Effect relate to high temperature superconductivity?
The Casimir Effect is a phenomenon in quantum physics that describes the attractive force between two uncharged metal plates in a vacuum. This effect is also present in superconductors, where it is believed to contribute to the formation of Cooper pairs, which allow for the flow of electricity without resistance at high temperatures.
What evidence supports the link between the Casimir Effect and high temperature superconductivity?
Studies have shown that the Casimir Effect can enhance the attractive force between electrons in superconductors, leading to the formation of Cooper pairs at higher temperatures. Additionally, the behavior of the Casimir Effect in certain superconductors has been found to be similar to that of conventional superconductors, providing further evidence of its role in high temperature superconductivity.
Are there any other theories that could explain high temperature superconductivity?
Yes, there are other theories that attempt to explain high temperature superconductivity, such as the BCS theory and the Hubbard model. However, these theories do not fully explain the observed behavior of high temperature superconductors and the Casimir Effect may play a significant role in their mechanism.
Could the Casimir Effect be utilized to achieve even higher temperature superconductivity?
It is possible that the Casimir Effect could be harnessed to achieve even higher temperature superconductivity, as researchers continue to explore its potential applications in this field. However, further research and experimentation is needed to fully understand and utilize this effect.
What are the implications of the Casimir Effect in the field of superconductivity?
If the Casimir Effect is indeed a key factor in high temperature superconductivity, it could lead to a better understanding of the phenomenon and potentially pave the way for the development of more efficient and practical superconducting materials. This could have far-reaching implications in various industries, such as energy production and transportation.
