This remarkable technique which is based on simple ideas has remained largely unknown to solid-state physicists. Here we provide an introduction to the basic principles of this method and discuss also some applications in solid-state systems.includes corrections to published version (Section 3)Mesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsSuperconductivityQuantum Physicstext
