Summary:

Although cuprate compounds in the normal superconducting state share many characteristics with each other, there is as of 2008 no widely accepted theory to explain their properties. The search for a theoretical understanding of high-temperature superconductivity is widely regarded as one of the most important unsolved problems in physics, and it continues to be a topic of intense experimental and theoretical research. This book presents the latest research in the field.
