"As Towfic Shomar argues, if we are looking for quantum description that gives very accurate predictions about superconducting phenomena we can make do with the "phenomenological" equations of Ginzburg-Landau model, These equations are phenomenological in two senses: First, they are not derived by constructing a model to which a Hamiltonian is assigned, but rather are justified by an ad hoc combination of considerations from thermodynamics, electro-magnetism and quantum mechanics itself. Second, the model does not give us any representation of the causal mechanisms that might be responsible…mehr
