How do I go from the eigenvalues (band structure) and eigenvectors of a 2D superconductor to its optical conductivity?

Physics Asked by Arnav Das on April 14, 2021

In the supplementary information of this Ni et al. paper "Plasmons in graphene moiré superlattices", we have a "Kubo formula" that’s used to obtain the optical conductivity of a non-superconducting system from its energy values and eigenspinors (as a function of the angular frequency of light).

Does any such formula exist that can be generalized to superconductors (whose optical response is heavily dominated by their strongly diamagnetic nature)?

Essentially, I have in hand a matrix of eigenvalues and eigenvectors for each point in my hypothetical superconducting system’s momentum space, and from these, I need the system’s optical conductivity as a function of angular frequency of light.
