Commonly known as quantum levetation, but more accurately known as quantum locking or flux pinning, this is a phenomenon observed in type II superconducting materials. The available superconductors work only at cold temperatures, and most common ones have to be cooled with liquid nitrogen. Normally, superconductors are repelled by magnetic fields, but quantum locking occurs when a magnetic field penentrates through tiny imperfections in a superconductor in the form of quantized vortices, and the
