"Smaller is different and more : coherence phenomena in low dimensional superconductivity"
Recent experimental advances in superconducting interfaces, heterostructures and nano-grains are revolutionising the field of low dimensional superconductivity. In contrast with bulk high temperature superconductors, the superior experimental control in these engineered materials offers an ideal playground to unveil novel forms of quantum matter and also to achieve more robust superconductivity. In this talk I first give a pedagogical introduction to this emerging field of research and then I focus on my contributions to the theory of nano-structured and topological low dimensional superconductors.
