protonic high-T superconductors
Re really high-T superconductivity, you may be interested in a recent report in New Scientist (May 7th) on saturated transition metal hydrides that contain Cooper pairs made of protons rather than electrons. If large chunks of these substances can really be...

I think this is a good question and the meaning is perfectly clear.
Yes, in principle a many-body wavefunction solution of the...
