Superconducting Microresonators: Physics and Applications
TLDR
A review of the development of superconducting micro-resonators can be found in this article, with particular attention given to the use of supercondensing micro-reonators as detectors.Abstract:
Interest in superconducting microresonators has grown dramatically over the past decade. Resonator performance has improved substantially through the use of improved geometries and materials as well as a better understanding of the underlying physics. These advances have led to the adoption of superconducting microresonators in a large number of low-temperature experiments and applications. This review outlines these developments, with particular attention given to the use of superconducting microresonators as detectors.read more

Theory of Superconductivity
TL;DR: In this article, a theory of superconductivity is presented, based on the fact that the interaction between electrons resulting from virtual exchange of phonons is attractive when the energy difference between the electrons states involved is less than the phonon energy, and it is favorable to form a superconducting phase when this attractive interaction dominates the repulsive screened Coulomb interaction.

Tunneling states in amorphous solids
TL;DR: In this paper, a linear temperature dependence of the specific heat in amorphous solids at very low temperatures is shown to follow from an ionic tunneling model, which predicts both the observed temperature dependence and the magnitude of the thermal conductivity.
