The superconductor refuses to move in a magnetic field because any movement will change the flux lines and disturb the state of superconductivity. This three dimensional locking of the superconductor is what is known as quantum locking. Firstly, quantum levitation is only possible with superconductors because of its numerous ‘magiclike’properties. Superconductivity is the phenomenon when the conductor offers exactly zero electrical resistance when it is cooled below a critical temperature. It is

The Meissner effect is the phenomenon where a material expels all magnetic fields from its interior when it becomes superconducting below a certain critical temperature. This makes the superconductor perfectly diamagnetic, meaning magnetic field lines cannot pass through it. This effect is what allows superconductors to levitate magnets, as the expelled field creates a repulsive force. Video credit: Unknown Follow @thatisnewton ,All credits to respective creators/owners.
