Perform 10+ unique experiments:
- The Meissner effect
- Flux pinning (Quantum Locking)
- Superconducting currents
- Friction-less motion
- Maglev track
Kids (and adults) won’t believe their eyes. With the Quantum Levitation kit, you can
explore superconductor levitation and suspension, design your own Maglev
tracks and perform eye-opening experiments to a captive audience!
What makes superconductors so fascinating? They’re able to conduct electricity without resistance or energy loss and possess truly unique magnetic properties.
One-of-a-kind quantum physics experience: Superconductivity only occurs below a specific temperature (Tc) and is the only quantum effect that can be experienced and investigated on a macroscopic scale without expensive equipment.
Simple design, breathtaking results: We developed our Superconductivity Kit to be an accessible starter kit for students and enthusiasts of all backgrounds to explore quantum levitation and quantum locking.
Perform 10+ unique experiments:
Q: Do I need liquid nitrogen to perform the experiments?
A: Yes, but don’t worry. It’s easy to obtain, safe to use when handled properly, and not so expensive. Contact a local welding shop or gas supplier and ask them to fill a
thermos with 2-3 liters. That should be enought for a day of experimenting.
Q: Do I need speciel protective gear?
A: It’s always recommended to use goggles and safety gloves when handlign liquid nitrogen.
Q: Are the magnets safe?
A: Magnets are not toys (!). We use super strong Nd magnets that could be harmfull if swallowed. Be extra carefull around small children and never swallow the magnets.

As quantum physicists, we’ve worked on superconductor technology for more than 15 years and know that it can get kids excited about science and physics. We created Quantum Experience to educate others and share our enthusiasm about superconductors, quantum physics and science.
