Superconductivity and superfluidity with anisotropic pairing -- such as $d$-wave in cuprates and $p$-wave in superfluid $^3$He -- are strongly suppressed by impurities. Meanwhile, for applications, the robustness of Cooper pairs to disorder…
Besides the mechanism responsible for high critical temperature superconductivity, the grand unresolved issue of the cuprates is the occurrence of a strange metallic state above the so-called pseudogap temperature $T^*$. Even though such…
