Applied Superconductivity
MIT OpenCourseWare offers this advanced electrical engineering course on the phenomenology of superconductivity, with emphasis on superconducting electronics. Topics covered include the electrodynamics of superconductors, London's model, flux quantization, and Josephson junctions, moving into superconducting quantum devices, equivalent circuits, and high-speed superconducting electronics, including quantized circuits relevant to quantum computing. The course also surveys type II superconductors, critical magnetic fields, pinning effects, the critical state model, superconducting materials, and the microscopic theory underlying superconductivity. Materials follow MIT's OpenCourseWare format of lecture notes and problem sets drawn from an actual MIT graduate-level course, free to access with no certificate offered. It suits students with a solid physics and electromagnetism background who want a rigorous, materials-and-devices grounded treatment rather than a qualitative overview.
