Summary/Outlook: BCS pairing theory of superconductivity is a prototypical example of a condensed matter physics problem. It has inspired the Weinberg Salam model for Electroweak interactions; So far there is no quantitative theory of superconductivity in strongly correlated materials. The limits on Tc are still unknown; Almost all known superconducting materials were found without theoretical guidance; The next-generation of first-principles approaches is beginning to captures a more holistic picture of correlated materials, giving way to a more quantitative theory of materials.
