What is the Ginzburg–Landau theory about?

  • Superconductivity

  • Gravitational Waves

  • Quantum Entanglement

  • Thermodynamics

Answer

Superconductivity is the disappearance of electrical resistance in certain materials when they are cooled below a critical temperature. The Ginzburg–Landau theory provides a phenomenological explanation of superconductivity, describing the behavior of superconducting materials based on the idea that the superconducting state can be characterized by an order parameter that represents the amplitude of the superconducting wave function.
