Do we need to modify Maxwell's equations?
Maxwell's equations are modified to incorporate a scalar field to account for the London's superconductivity. Assuming the electromagnetic field is described by the Klein-Gordon equation, London's equations of superconductivity are then derived, which are invariant under a new set of transformations. The invariance of the modified Maxwell's equations under these transformations requires the electromagnetic field and the scalar field to be scale-invariant. Relying on these transformations, a quantized Josephson-like current is derived. This current gives rise to a residual magnetic field. The spatial and temporal variations of the scalar field are linked to the electric polarization such that the polarization vector is curl-less.
