In today’s recreational coding exercise, we will look at an equation for superconductors, in particular, the time-dependent complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. We will create a simulation for the time evolution of the order parameter that describes a simplified model for superconductors. Such a system is relevant for the study of vortex and phase dynamics in mesoscopic superconducting materials.

You may find the accompanying Python code on GitHub.
