About the course

You are introduced to the principles of superconductivity through their fundamental concepts, properties, and modeling of superconductors. This includes key theories such as BCS and Ginzburg-Landau, transport phenomena, and unconventional superconductors like high-temperature and topological variants. The course explores the relationship between superconductivity and magnetism and examines applications such as quantum sensors and spin valves, gaining skills in analysing and presenting advanced phenomena.
