Recenzii
'A solid, down-to-earth book which presents the essentials of the BCS theory of superconductivity without relying on advanced formal techniques; it is particularly good at getting across difficult points in informal terms, and in making contact with experiments where needed. Distinguishing features include substantial discussions of the ultracold atomic gases, and of the Eliashberg-based theory of strong coupling superconductivity in a form where it may be applicable to the nearly-room-temperature metallic hydrides. It should be a useful basis for courses for advanced undergraduates or graduate students not specialized in the topic.' Prof. Anthony J. Leggett, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
'This is an excellent introductory textbook on superconductivity. It starts with a description of the basic phenomena, follows the sequence of historical discoveries and describes the various models proposed to explain them and to predict new effects. From chapter to chapter, Roland Combescot exposes in simple and elegant terms the quantum subtleties of superconductivity, develops step-by-step the various theoretical approaches and illustrates them with deep physical interpretations of the equations. The connection between condensed matter and cold atom physics is particularly interesting, with an illuminating description of the cross-over between the BEC and the BCS regimes of degenerate fermionic gases. This development, which shows that similar phenomena occur in very disparate systems, illustrates the deep unity of physics. This textbook will interest readers familiar with basic quantum physics and curious to understand the theory of superconductivity, as well as those interested in its various technological applications. It is a simple and particularly clear introduction for undergraduate and graduate students. I believe that it will also serve as a useful guide for teachers of a field of physics which – having been active for more than a century – still raises unanswered questions and promises new surprises.' Prof. Serge Haroche, Ecole Normale Supérieure and Collège de France
