By Daniel Garisto. John Robert ”Bob” Schrieffer, the condensed matter theorist who explained the quantum rationale underpinning superconductivity, died July 27 at the age of 88. Schrieffer was responsible for a critical component of the theory: defining the BCS wavefunction. For his work, Schrieffer—the “S” in BCS theory—shared the ...
