BCM theory, or Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory, is a theoretical framework that describes superconductivity in many materials. Developed in 1957 by John Bardeen, Leon Cooper, and Robert Schrieffer, this theory explains how certain materials can conduct electricity without resistance when cooled to very low temperatures. Key concepts of BCM theory include: 1. **Cooper Pairs**: At low temperatures, electrons in a superconductor can form pairs known as Cooper pairs.
