At the end of the class students should know the concepts taught in the lecture and be able to apply them to simple problems and questions in the field.

This course builds on and extends the Solid State Physics class of the Physics Bachelor program. After a short review we will develop the foundations of superconductor physics to the point that modern applications of these materials in classical and quantum physics can be discussed. 

  1. Sperconductors
    1. Phenomena (vanishing resisitvity, Meissner effect, flux quantization, etc.)
    2. Ginzburg-Landau theory
    3. Basics of BCS theory
    4. Josephson effect
    5. SQUID
    6. Applications in quantum physics
