You mean why call it quantum if it's not really, really, small? Because superconductivity is a quantum mechanical phenomenon.

Shit be happenin' at the quantum level here, bro.

justinsftw says thanks to Rudiger for this post.

I remember doing a project on superconductivity and quantum levitation in grade 12, roughly 4 years ago. I remember you could even order demonstration kits (I'm pretty sure you had to be a prof or something though, considering you are dealing with liquid nitrogen), so definitively not new at all. But still pretty awesome.
