Physics: Superconductivity

Education facts

Code: FYST84

<p>The course aims to teach the fundamental theoretical concepts behind superconductivity. Students will also learn to apply analytical and numerical methods to investigate simple phenomena in superconductors based on the London equations, Ginzburg-Landau theory, and BCS theory. Additionally, they will gain basic knowledge of various methods for experimentally studying the properties of superconducting materials. The course will also provide insight into the use of superconductors in some technical applications, with a particular focus on quantum computers and other quantum technologies.</p><p>https://canvas.education.lu.se/courses/28787</p>

Entry requirements

To be admitted to the course, 75 credits in physics and 45 credits in mathematics are required, or a bachelor's degree in physics or equivalent - in both cases, including knowledge equivalent to FYSB22 Basic Quantum Mechanics, 7.5 credits, and FYSC23 Solid State Physics, 7.5 credits. Additionally, English 6/B and basic eligibility are required.
