Quantum locking (flux pinning) occurs when a superconducting object becomes trapped in a surrounding magnetic field. In this GIF, a superconducting disc is placed above a circular track of magnets where it levitates in place. A gentle push sets it into motion around the track. The disc can also be placed beneath the track and achieve the same effect.
