This lecture covers the quantum-mechanical nature of superconductivity, starting with basic quantum mechanics and the Schrödinger equation, then delving into the essence of quantum mechanics, waves, and boundaries. It explores the Cooper pair formation, long-ranged phase coherence, and the BCS theory, explaining why electrons pair up and the energy gap in superconductors.
