It All Started Back in 1986
Tc Shot Up Like a Rock(many cuprates superconduct above 77K)
Woodstock of Physics - March 1987
H. K. Onnes (1911)
Zero resistance
Meissner effect (1933)
Superconductors:(1) They are perfect conductors(2) They expel magnetic flux
The Path to a Microscopic Theory was Littered with Many Famous Physicists
Einstein
Landau
Heisenberg
Feynman
Eventually, Three Guys in Illinois Got It Right(Bardeen, Cooper, Schrieffer - 1956,1957)
1. London theory - rigidity to macroscopic perturbations implies a “condensate” (1935,1950)
2. Ginzburg-Landau () theory - order parameter for condensate (1950)
3. Isotope effect (Maxwell, Serin & Reynolds, Frohlich, 1950)4. Cooper pairs (1956)5. Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) microscopic theory (1957)6. Type-II superconductors (Abrikosov vortices, 1957)7. Connection of BCS to Ginzburg-Landau (Gorkov, 1958)8. Strong coupling superconductivity (Eliashberg, Nambu,
Anderson, Schrieffer, Wilkins, Scalapino …, 1960-1963)9. p-wave superfluidity in 3He (Osheroff, Richardson, Lee, 1972;
Leggett, 1972)10. Heavy Fermion Superconductivity (Steglich, 1979)11. High Temperature Superconductivity (Bednorz & Muller, 1986)12. Iron Arsenides (Hosono, 2008)
A (Very) Short History of Superconductivity
From Steve Girvin’s lecture (Boulder Summer School 2000) courtesy of Matthew Fisher
(the electron-phonon case)
1. 1st e- attracts + ions2. Ions shift position from red to blue3. 1st e- moves away4. 2nd e- sees + ion hole and moves to former position of 1st e-
Interaction is local in space(s-wave pairs, L=0, S=0)but retarded in time(Tc << Debye frequency)

Famous Quotes
“On this basis I was able to explain most of the experimental data about layered cuprates . . .
As a result I can state thatthe so called “mystery” of high-Tc
superconductivity does not exist.”
Ten Weeks of High Tc (to the tune of Twelve Days of Christmas)
On the first week of the program Friend Philip said to me All simply RVB (All sim-pl-ee R-r V B)
On the second week of the program Friend Douglas said to me Pair in a d-wave All simply RVB
On the third week of the program Friend David said to me It's magnons Pair in a d-wave All simply RVB
On the fourth week of the program Friend Chandra said to me Four current rings (fo-or current rings) It's magnons Pair in a d-wave All simply RVB
At the end of the program Friend Philip said to me Big Tent is stretching Visons escaping Visons are gapping Slave spinons pairing T sym-try breaking Stripes fluctuating S - O - 5 Four current rings It's magnons Pair in a d-wave All simply RVB

Phase Diagram of Cuprates
1. There are 2e- pairs2. The pairs are d-wave (L=2, S=0)3. There are “normal” (i.e., 2e-) vortices4. Quasiparticles exist (but only below Tc)

RVB has many critics
Bob LaughlinAnnals of Improbable Research, May-June 2004
Neel Lattice RVB
RVB (“resonating valence bond”) is a ‘strong coupling’ theory for cuprates developed by Phil
Anderson and his colleagues
It postulates a liquid of spin singlets
The pseudogap phase corresponds to a d-wave pairing of spins (left). At zero doping, this is quantum mechanically equivalent to an orbital current phase (middle). The spin gap, , is not equivalent to the superconducting order parameter, sc, as it would be in BCS theory (right).

Antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations can lead to d-wave pairs(an e- with up spin wants its neighbors to have down spins)
