Abstract
Superconducting cavities have been operating routinely in a variety of accelerators with a range of demanding applications. With the success of completed projects, niobium cavities have become an enabling technology, offering upgrade paths for existing facilities and pushing frontier accelerators for nuclear physics, high-energy physics, materials science, and the life sciences. With continued progress in basic understanding of radio-frequency superconductivity, the performance of cavities has steadily improved to approach theoretical capabilities.

Vortices in high-performance high-temperature superconductors

TL;DR: An emerging new paradigm of critical current by design is discussed-a drive to achieve a quantitative correlation between the observed critical current density and mesoscale mixed pinning landscapes by using realistic input parameters in an innovative and powerful large-scale time dependent Ginzburg-Landau approach to simulating vortex dynamics.

Three-Dimensional Superconducting Resonators at T <20 mK with Photon Lifetimes up to τ =2 s

TL;DR: Very high-quality-factor superconducting radio-frequency cavities developed for accelerators can enable fundamental physics searches with orders of magnitude higher sensitivity, and they can also offer a path to a 1000-fold increase in the achievable coherence times for cavity-stored quantum states in three-dimensional circuit QED architecture as mentioned in this paper.

Understanding Quality Factor Degradation in Superconducting Niobium Cavities at Low Microwave Field Amplitudes.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the LFQS may be caused by the two level systems in the natural niobium oxide on the inner cavity surface, thereby identifying a new source of residual resistance and providing guidance for potential nonaccelerator low-field applications of SRF cavities.

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.

Theory of the anomalous skin effect in normal and superconducting metals

TL;DR: Chambers' expression for the current density in a normal metal in which the electric field varies over a mean free path is derived from a quantum approach in which use is made of the density matrix in the presence of scattering centers but in the absence of the field as discussed by the authors.

The electromagnetic equations of the supraconductor

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a new description of the electromagnetic field in a supraconductor, which is consistent and, as it eliminates unnecessary statements, is in closer contact with experiment.
