Summary Note	Preface : This is a book discussing the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) method and its major applications to superconductors. It was originally formulated by De Gennes in his book Superconductivity of Metals and Alloys and is based on the BCS theory of superconductivity, i.e., Cooper pair formation due to an effective pairing interaction around the Fermi energy. It consists essentially of a coupled set of Schrödinger equations, enabling a description of superconductivity with much information on both quasiparticle and superconducting order parameter properties. The method becomes particularly useful by providing insight into quasiparticle properties down to the atomic scale, which can be detected by such local probes as scanning tunneling microscopy. The understanding of quasiparticle properties is important in uncovering the mechanism for superconductivity. Therefore, the BdG formalism serves as a complementary approach to the Ginzburg–Landau theory, which is a choice to describe the spatial variations of superconducting order parameter slowly varying at a larger length scale.:
