    I How do Cooper pairs carry a current with zero net-momentum?

    One of the first starting points of introducing BCS theory in a superconductor is applying a theorem stating that the ground-state of a quantum system has an expectation value for its momentum of zero. You then use this to say that an electron must pair with another electron of equal and...

    A How Does Decoherence Affect a Single Two-Level System in Hilbert Space?

    My question is about decoherence, specifically in regards to its interpretation in Hilbert space. In every single textbook I've read, decoherence has always been explained by (1) introduce density matrix and (2) explain that interactions with environment cause off-diagonal terms (coherences)...
