Microsoft scientists have created a quantum processor that taps into a rare state of matter that was first theorized in the ...

Exotic superconducting states could exist in a wider range of materials than previously thought, according to a theoretical ...

Quasiparticles are collections of particles (and, in some cases, field lines) that can be described mathematically as if they ...

In a superconductor, the electrons bind in weak pairs known as Cooper pairs. The pairs form a type of superfluid that can flow without energy dissipation. You can see a more detailed explainer in ...

The shape of this pairing is crucial. The Cooper pairs in most conventional superconductors are symmetric about a central point; this is called s-wave pairing. In contrast, the Cooper pairs in ...

Type I superconductors WEEK 4 Current transport in superconductors ... concepts of the energy gap and Cooper pairs, introduction to the BCS theory, the superconducting ground state, long range order ...

In the superconducting state, electrons form Cooper pairs and flow through the material without encountering any resistance, leading to the lossless conduction of electricity. Levitating Magnet Over a ...

When a solid becomes superconducting, two electrons join together to form so-called Cooper pairs, which perform the same coordinated movement in unison. Modern computer simulations of high-temperature ...
