I'm not sure what makes it "quantum" exactly, but this is pretty cool: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/10/quantum-levitation/

I guess it's "quantum" because the underlying principles have to do with the magical voodoo of electrons and energy states, or something. :?

The important take-away point here, however, is HOLY SHIT THAT'S COOL HOW DO I GET ONE?!?!

Spontaneous magnetic alignment in ferrous materials is a quantum effect I suppose though I would more commonly know it as an electromagnetic effect.

But it looks cool anyway.

If you have some Yttrium, Barium, and Copper Oxide, I have a kiln.

How hard could it be?
