Abstract

In this chapter, we summarize the NMR results that have been performed and discuss the superconducting states that are likely to be realized in UTe\(_{2}\). The superconducting state at ambient pressure and low magnetic field, the superconducting state at ambient pressure and high magnetic field, the normal state at high pressure, and the superconducting state at high pressure are reviewed in their respective sections.
