Phonon-mediated superconductivity beyond the Migdal approximation

Date:

Presented groundbreaking work on implementing vertex corrections beyond the standard Migdal approximation for electron-phonon interactions in superconductors, with applications to high-Tc hydrides.

Session Chair Role: Also served as Session Chair for “Electrons, Phonons, and Electron-Phonon Scattering” session.

Research Highlights:

  • First implementation of vertex corrections in EPW code
  • Significant corrections to superconducting properties in H₃S
  • New theoretical framework for beyond-Migdal calculations

Impact: This work opens new frontiers in computational superconductivity for high-Tc materials.
