Abstract:
The study of high temperature superconductivity has been a central pillar of theoretical and experimental inquiry in condensed matter physics for the past three decades. While authors who seek publication in glossy journals frequently highlight the lack of “understanding” after all that effort, I will argue that much of the essential physics is well understood – including central principles of a general theory of the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity.
