[@---kt5xz]

Hi IIT Madras, this lecture have several mistakes eg. Minimized W_bcs and a symbol of energy in which professor is itself in confusion either E or zie, do you have time to to edit this lecture 🎙️

If one wavevector is k and the other -k does that mean the electrons go in opposite directions?

[@aaabbb-kj7lk]

no its wavenumber - as in momentum.
ya goof

[@ayaskkantdixit1774]

it results from momentum conservation and hence you are correct.

very useful, thanks

Could someone explain what the pie is representing here and what the indices q and p represent in the ground state BCS derivation? Thanks

Prof I have derived London equation and Meissner effect from them. Check out
