A Single Superconducting Vortex on a Leash: Thermodynamics and Applications

Explore the thermodynamics and applications of a single superconducting vortex in this comprehensive lecture from the Instituto de Física Interdisciplinar y Sistemas Complejos (IFISC). Delve into the fascinating physics of superconducting vortices, their behavior when constrained or "leashed," and the theoretical frameworks that describe their thermodynamic properties. Learn about potential applications of controlled vortex systems in superconducting technologies and quantum computing. The 76-minute presentation offers an in-depth analysis for researchers and students interested in condensed matter physics and superconductivity phenomena.
