This is the first text on the modern theory of superconductivity. It deals with the behavior of superconductors in external fields varying in time, and with transport phenomena in superconductors. The text starts with the fundamentals of the first-principle, microscopic theory of superconductivity, and guides the reader through the modern theoretical analysis to applications of the theory to practical problems. The methods of quantum field theory applied to nonstationary superconductivity in their most advanced formulations, namely the so-called semi-classical version of the real-time Green's...

This text is on the modern theory of superconductivity, It deals with the behavior of superconductors in external fields varying in time, and with transport phenomena in superconductors. The book starts with the fundamentals of the first-principle, microscopy theory of superconductivity, and guides the reader through the modern theoretical analysis directly to applications of the theory to practical problems.
The reader of this book will learn about the methods of quantum field theory applied to nonstationary superconductivity in their most advanced formulation, namely about the so-called...
