Magnetism and superconductivity: new physics one atom at a time — •Alexander Balatsky — NORDITA — UCONN

In this tutorial I will review the effects of magnetism and electronic defect in conventional and unconventional superconductors. The extreme case of quantum engineering where one builds magnetic and electronic features one atom at a time has proved to be a versatile approach. Impurities and defects are pair breakers in superconductors. I will discuss how defects can also enable new features in superconductors like intragap resonances, topological Majorana modes and seed new superconducting phases. Looking forward I will discuss how we might induce novel physics in superconductors with precise quantum impurity band engineering
