Abstract:

Phenomenological approach to superconductivity, with emphasis on superconducting electronics. Electrodynamics of superconductors, London's model, and flux quantization. Josephson Junctions and superconducting quantum devices, equivalent circuits, and high-speed superconducting electronics. Quantized circuits for quantum computing. Overview of type II superconductors, critical magnetic fields, pinning, the critical state model, superconducting materials, and microscopic theory of superconductivity. The materials are largely based on the textbook, Foundations of Applied Superconductivity, co-written by Professor Terry P. Orlando (see http://www.aw.com for more information).
