Description

This lecture will be a pedagogical introduction to the theory of the disorder-driven superconductor-to-insulator transition in 2D s-wave superconductors, developed over the years with N. Trivedi and collaborators [1-6]. Predictions for and comparisons with experiments will be emphasized. For students who want to do some background reading, I especially recommend reference [3s] and [4].
