What Quantum Levitation does

Quantum Levitation (legally Quantum Experience LTD) is an Israel-based, privately held manufacturer founded in 2012 and headquartered in Yavne. The company designs, develops, and sells educational and demonstration hardware that uses high-temperature superconductors—primarily YBCO (Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide) and Bi-2223 (Bismuth Strontium Calcium Copper Oxide)—to make quantum mechanical phenomena such as the Meissner effect, quantum locking, and flux pinning directly observable on a tabletop. Its product portfolio spans entry-level DIY magnetic levitation kits priced from $79, through classroom and outreach kits ($587–$2,877), up to museum-scale demonstration kits such as the $6,824 Quantum Levitation Maglev Kit, plus modular components including YBCO Meissner disks (14mm, 28mm, 56mm) and 4-point critical temperature measurement setups.

The company serves a horizontal mix of customers: individual hobbyists and home educators, K-12 schools and science fair participants, universities and research institutions (the website lists Max Planck Institute, UC Berkeley, Caltech, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Oxford, University of Tokyo, NASA, and CERN as reference logos), and science museums such as Canada Science and Technology Museum. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through one-time e-commerce transactions on its own direct-to-consumer storefront (quantumlevitation.com), with no subscription component, no distributor network, and no disclosed enterprise contracts. The company operates as the consumer-facing brand of Theva, which appears to function as its strategic technology and corporate parent.

Go-to-market is content-led and product-led: the company publishes educational blog articles, free experiment manuals, and teacher booklets to drive organic search demand, supplemented by an email newsletter and SEO-optimized product pages. Marketing channels include no paid advertising, no reseller program, and no app or software component. The business is operationally small, with no disclosed headcount, no disclosed funding rounds, and no revenue figures available in the source material. Founder and CEO Boaz Almog is the only named executive.

Core offering

Quantum Levitation designs, develops, and manufactures educational and demonstration kits that leverage high-temperature superconductivity and quantum locking (Meissner effect and flux pinning). The company sells superconducting levitation kits, maglev tracks, YBCO bulk disks, and physics experiment setups (including 4-point Tc measurement kits) primarily to universities, schools, and science museums. The company is headquartered in Yavne, Israel and operates as a subsidiary of Theva.

Product overview

Quantum Levitation designs and supplies magnetic floating systems, superconducting components, and quantum physics experiment kits for academic, educational, and industrial applications. The product portfolio centers on precision levitation kits, superconducting disks (YBCO Meissner & Flux Pinning Levitation Disks in 14mm, 28mm, and 56mm sizes), magnetic demonstrators (NdFeB magnets, handheld magnetic devices), and interactive educational platforms. Products are organized into four main categories: Quantum Demonstration Kits (Starter Kit, Economy Kit, Quantum Levitation Maglev Kit, Mini-Maglev Kit, Maglev-Solo), Superconductor Experiment Kits (Classroom Kit, Ultimate Classroom Kit, 4-point Tc setups, Magnetic Levitation Kit), Quantum Levitators (Standard, Ed, Enhanced variants), and Parts (maglev tracks, bulk YBCO disks, magnets). The ecosystem is modular—levitators, tracks, and accessories can be mixed and matched across kits. Educational offerings range from entry-level DIY kits for kids to advanced university-level experiments measuring critical temperature and levitation force.

Broad incumbents

• 3B Scientific: 3B Scientific is a global supplier of medical and scientific education products, including physics demonstration models and experiment kits sold to universities and schools. Comparable as a broad incumbent in educational science equipment, with overlap on physics demonstration materials for the same institutional buyers.
• Vernier Software & Technology: Vernier is a leading educational science vendor specializing in data-collection probeware and experiment kits for K–12 and university physics, biology, and chemistry. Comparable as a broad incumbent in physics education tools, particularly around the data-acquisition and experiment-setup workflow that Quantum Levitation's Tc-measurement kits also serve.
• PASCO Scientific: PASCO is a large established supplier of probeware, sensors, and physics/STEM education equipment to schools and universities worldwide. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same educational physics demonstration budget, though Quantum Levitation's superconducting niche is narrower than PASCO's full STEM catalog.
• Carolina Biological Supply: Carolina Biological is one of the largest K–12 and college science education suppliers in North America, offering physics kits, laboratory apparatus, and demonstration equipment. Comparable as a broad incumbent sharing the same educational procurement ecosystem, though with a much broader science catalog than Quantum Levitation's superconductivity focus.
• Boreal Science (School Specialty): Boreal Science supplies laboratory and science education products to schools and colleges under the School Specialty family, with broad coverage of physics, chemistry, and biology kits. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the same educational distribution ecosystem competing for school procurement budgets.

Others

• Theva: Theva is the parent/strategic partner of Quantum Levitation and a manufacturer of high-temperature superconductor tape (HTS). Comparable as a supplier/partner relationship — Theva provides the superconducting materials that Quantum Levitation's YBCO products depend on, making the two entities vertically linked rather than directly competitive.

Direct peers

• Spectrum Scientifics: Spectrum Scientifics is a specialty retailer of physics and science demonstration kits, including magnetism and electromagnetic kits targeted at hobbyists and educators. Comparable as a direct peer serving the hobbyist/educator segment with overlapping physics demonstration product categories.
• Arbor Scientific: Arbor Scientific is a long-established supplier of physics demonstration and laboratory equipment for K–12 and undergraduate education, with comparable product categories around magnetism, electricity, and physics phenomena. Directly comparable as a channel-and-customer peer selling physics kits to the same educational segments.
• United Scientific Supplies: United Scientific Supplies manufactures and distributes physics and chemistry laboratory apparatus for K–12 and college-level education, including demonstration kits and consumables. Comparable as a direct peer in educational physics kits, overlapping in buyer (science teachers, lab coordinators) and distribution channel (school-district purchasing).
• TeachSpin: TeachSpin manufactures advanced physics teaching instruments and experiments for university physics departments, including apparatus for quantum mechanics, optics, and condensed matter. Directly comparable to Quantum Levitation as a specialist vendor of hands-on advanced-physics demonstration kits to the same university and research-lab buyer base.
