The quantum form — a macroscopic quantum state, a massive photon

maxwell

In a superconductor the electromagnetic field becomes a macroscopic quantum state: flux is quantized in units h/2e and the photon gains mass (the Meissner effect = the Anderson-Higgs mechanism on a bench, the same that gives the W and Z their mass).
