Emergent Superconductivity

This lecture covers the detection of superconductivity out-of-equilibrium, including the mechanisms of superconductivity in equilibrium systems, pump-probe experiments, and fundamental questions about identifying superconductivity in nonequilibrium setups. The instructor discusses the emergence of nonequilibrium superconductivity, pump-probe experiments, numerical methods for treating quenches, and matrix product state algorithms. The importance of models, scaling of eigenvalues of correlation matrices, and the presence of true long-range order are also explored.
