A Cooper pair is a bound state of two electrons that, near the Fermi surface of a metal at low temperature, attract one another weakly by exchanging lattice vibrations and so pair up despite their like charge. Leon Cooper's 1956 Bound electron pairs in a degenerate Fermi gas showed that such a pair forms for any arbitrarily weak attractive interaction, and the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer Theory of superconductivity built the full account of superconductivity on a condensate of these pairs. The referent is a two-electron bound state named after its discoverer, a physics construct that merely happens to be spelled like the barrel-maker's trade.[1][2]
