  1. Quantum Levitation A Demonstration Lesson Created by Andrew Manning

  2. Certain materials exhibit no electrical resistance when cooled to a certain temperature • These objects, called superconductors, allow current to pass through with very little loss of current over time Superconductors

  3. Superconductivity is the property of an object where at a certain temperature is has zero electrical resistance and expels magnetic fields from itself • In other words, Superconductivity is when an object has no electrical resistance and pushes magnetic field lines outside the object. Superconductivity

  4. Quantum Locking occurs when magnetic field lines get stuck in the superconductor, effectively locking the conductor in place in midair • In other words, the magnetic field lines act like wires holding the object in place Quantum Locking

  5. MRI machines! • Particle Accelerators! • Mass spectrometer (lets you figure out what type of atom you’re looking at!) Superconductors in Action
