Quantum levitation

It's not levitation for the simple reason it was turned up side down and it remained in the same relative place to the magnet(s). But rather it is 'locked' in space relative to the magnets whereby each quantum of magnetic field is held by a quantum 'tube' of circulating supercurrent.

 

I believe there is a name for this phenomenon.

The video in krash's link refers to it as Quantum Locking. Whatever you call it, it's interesting.
