A new critical-current-by-design paradigm is presented. It aims at predicting the optimal defect landscape in superconductors for targeted applications by elucidating vortex dynamics responsible bulk critical current. To this end, current measurements on commercial high-temperature are combined with large-scale time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau simulations of dynamics.
