quantum levitation

Quantum levitation is a phenomenon where a superconductor, cooled to very low temperatures, can lock into a specific position above a magnetic field, effectively "floating" or being suspended in mid-air. This occurs because superconductors expel magnetic fields (Meissner effect), and when combined with magnetic flux pinning, they trap magnetic field lines within their structure. This trapping allows the superconductor to remain fixed in space while seemingly levitating, enabling stable, frictionless suspension. It demonstrates the quantum mechanical behavior of materials at very low temperatures, blending superconductivity and magnetic interactions to achieve stable levitation without continuous energy input.
