Singing superlatives of superconductivity
I recently gave two lectures on superconductivity to a fourth year undergraduate Condensed Matter Physics course. In hindsight, there are few points that I did not discuss but should have included:
- the relevance of BCS theory and Cooper pairing to nuclear physics and neutron stars
- how the Meissner effect can be viewed as a photon obtaining mass and that this idea is key to electro-weak theory and to the Higgs boson
