Anomalous coherence length in superconductors with quantum metric by Jin-Xin Hu, Shuai A. Chen, K. T. Law

“…We demonstrate that under the uniform pairing condition, ℓ qm is controlled by the quantum metric of minimal trace in the flat-band limit. Physically, the Cooper pair size of a superconductor cannot be squeezed down to a size smaller than ℓ qm which is a fundamental length scale determined by the quantum geometry of the wave functions. …”
