Welcome to Phy 6937 Superconductivity and superfluidity
PHY6937 is a one semester advanced graduate level course. Its aim is to introduce concepts and theoretical techniques for the description of superconductors and superfluids. This course is a natural continuation of the "many-body" course PHY5670 and will build on the logical framework introduced therein, i.e. broken symmetry and adiabatic continuity. The course will cover a range of topics, such as the connection between the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau and the microscpic BCS theory, Migdal-Eliashberg treatment of phonon mediated superconductivity, unconventional superconductivity, superfluidity in He-4 and He-3, and Kosterlitz-Thouless theory of two dimensional superfluids.
The key component of the course is the collaborative student contribution to the course Wiki-textbook. Each team of students is responsible for BOTH writing the assigned chapter AND editing chapters of others.
