I’m just thinking aloud here but would this enable actual perpetual motion machines? For instance, wouldn’t the pushback from the quantum locked superconductor

  In the same way that the pushback from the earth you're standing on is an infinite source of energy

    It isn’t though. You can use gravity to apply the weight to the superconductor and the pushback would be against gravity.

      You can also hang a weight on a spring. Neither helps you override the laws of thermodynamics.
