Phenomenology of Superconductors

Catalog description

Phenomenology of superconductivity viewed as a macroscopic quantum phenomenon. Topics include superconducting pair wave function, London and Ginzburg-Landau theories, the Josephson effect, type I and II superconductivity, and the response of superconductors to currents, magnetic fields and RF electromagnetic radiation. Introduction to superconducting microwave circuits and their applications for quantum computing and quantum sensing.
