Summary
Chapter 7 opens with the description of superconductivity in terms of Bogoliubov–de-Gennes Hamiltonians. The 10-fold way in terms of the Altland–Zirnbauer symmetry classes is applied to random matrix theory and two disordered quantum wires. The chapter closes with the 10-fold way for the gapped phases of quantum wires.
