Quantum levitation and quantum locking are a consequence of the Meissner effect and allow superconductor to glide freely over a track of magnets. Experiment Museum in Yamanashi | Uncover Quantum

Quantum levitation is the stable, fixed suspension of a superconductor in a magnetic field, caused by two quantum phenomena: the Meissner effect, which expels magnetic fields from the superconductor, and flux pinning, where magnetic field lines become trapped within imperfections in the superconductor, effectively locking the object in place. This process requires very low temperatures to achieve superconductivity and creates a counter-intuitive, stable levitation where the superconductor can be
