Macroscopic quantum state
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A macroscopic quantum state is a state of matter in which macroscopic properties, such as mechanical motion,[1] thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity[2] and viscosity, can be described only by quantum mechanics rather than merely classical mechanics.[3] This occurs primarily at low temperatures where there is little thermal motion present to mask the quantum nature of a substance.
Macroscopic quantum phenomena can emerge from coherent states of superfluids and superconductors.[4] Quantum states of motion have been directly observed in a macroscopic mechanical resonator (see quantum machine).
