Quantum Mechanics
Cooper pairs are pairs of electrons that are bound together at low temperatures in a superconductor, allowing them to move through the lattice structure without resistance. This phenomenon is essential for understanding superconductivity and is a key component of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory, which explains how these pairs form and lead to superconducting behavior in certain materials.
congrats on reading the definition of Cooper pairs. now let's actually learn it.
