Superconductivity is a fascinating state of matter where materials conduct electricity without any resistance, often defying our everyday expectations of how energy behaves. Researchers in this field explore the quantum mechanics behind these phenomena, seeking new materials that can operate at higher temperatures or under more practical conditions. This work holds the promise of revolutionizing everything from power grids to medical imaging devices, making the invisible world of quantum physics feel increasingly tangible and useful.

This paper demonstrates that Coulomb-driven band unflattening in moiré graphene suppresses the screening and susceptibility necessary for -phonon pairing, thereby ruling out a purely phonon-mediated mechanism for the observed superconductivity.
This paper presents an extended coupled cluster approach to model correlation effects in twisted bilayer graphene, successfully predicting a superconducting gap with mixed s-wave and f-wave components at a critical angle of 1.00° that qualitatively matches experimental observations.
This paper proposes that in TiSe, chiral charge-density-wave quantum criticality drives a non-BCS, finite-momentum inter-orbital superconducting state by enabling symmetry-forbidden mode mixing that enhances pairing interactions between small - and -orbital Fermi pockets, resulting in an orbital-selective -wave superconducting dome.
This paper presents a Monte Carlo study of a thermal SU(2) lattice gauge theory that reconciles the cuprate pseudogap's Fermi arc spectral weight with recent magnetotransport evidence for fractional hole pockets by modeling a -flux spin liquid coupled to a Higgs boson, thereby offering a unified fractionalized description of intertwined orders and the onset of -wave superconductivity.
This review summarizes the fundamental physics and recent experimental advances in superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid structures, with a specific focus on proximity effects, spin-valve phenomena in Josephson junctions, and the development of superconducting memory elements.
This paper develops a microscopic theory using an extended Keldysh-Nambu quasiclassical formalism to demonstrate how branch population imbalance in d-wave superconductors generates a light-induced dc current and static magnetization via the inverse Faraday effect.
This paper presents a first-principles ab-initio model that quantitatively reproduces the optical response of superconducting films and predicts light-induced superconductivity in materials like KC and CaC by elucidating the underlying quasiparticle and phonon dynamics driven by ultrafast mid-infrared pulses.
This paper introduces an efficient, linear-scaling numerical method for solving finite-temperature Migdal-Eliashberg equations directly on the real-frequency axis with full-bandwidth electronic structure and particle-hole asymmetry, thereby eliminating the need for unstable analytic continuation and yielding more accurate superconducting properties that align closely with experimental observations.
This study demonstrates that diffusion bonding bronze pieces followed by simultaneous NbSn formation via Nb vapor deposition creates continuous superconducting films with seamless supercurrent flow across joints, offering a promising method for joining NbSn materials in magnet and RF applications.
This paper investigates topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes in the LaAlO/SrTiO interface using a realistic multiband model, revealing that while a finite out-of-plane magnetic field is required for the topological transition in 2D systems, lateral confinement relaxes this constraint but introduces challenges for observing Majorana states in nanowires due to the exceptionally long localization lengths of orbital-dominated subbands.
