Superconductivity is not by any means a classical phenomenon. Imagine the water in the pipes in your house suddenly all occupying the same space, and the flow of water is not the movement of small elements of water individually, but rather every drop of water acts together to flow in the same direction.
In technical terms the simpler superconductors involve the electrons paring up into "cooper pairs" which act as a single particle with bose-einstein statistics and condensate into a superfluid.

Why does superconductivity occur in certain materials at low temperature?
Superconductivity is a purely quantum mechanical phenomenon. And as all quantum mechanical effects it disappears at high temperatures and/or large scale. One of ways to see quantum effects is to lower the temperature (in this case it's only way).
What is the name of atomic model in which electrons are treated as waves?
The quantum mechanical model is the name of the atomic model in which electrons are treated as waves.
The quantum medanical model is called the?
The quantum mechanical model is called the quantum theory.
Who formulated the quantum mechanical exclusion principle?
pauli
What does Quantum tunneling refer to?
Quantum tunneling is a physics phenomenon within the area of quantum mechanics. Basically it refers to when a particle can tunnel through a barrier that it could not surmount in classic physics.

Why quantum restiction is applied in rotation?
What is suggested here is that conservation of angular momentum, which has a basis in the "rotation" of an object, must be applied to all the paradigms an investigator might suggest to explain any quantum mechanical phenomenon.
What is the name of atomic model in which electrons are treated as waves?
The quantum mechanical model is the name of the atomic model in which electrons are treated as waves.
The quantum medanical model is called the?
The quantum mechanical model is called the quantum theory.
What is the importance of measurements in quantum physics?
Measurements in quantum physics helps us understand the density matrix of quantum-mechanical systems.
Who formulated the quantum mechanical exclusion principle?
pauli
What year was the quantum mechanical model established?
1913
Why classical particle do not show tunneling effect?
Tunneling is a quantum phenomenon. The definition of classical is "not quantum." The remainder is left as an exercise for the reader.
What is a quantum field?
The quantum field theory is a theoretical framework for constructing quantum mechanical models. These models are of subatomic particles in particle physics.
Write four quantum numbers for 1s electron?
How are electrons arranged in the quantum mechanical model of an atom
What is the probabilistic nature of nuclear decay?
Nuclear decay is a quantum mechanical process, mediated by the weak and strong nuclear forces. All quantum mechanical processes are probabilistic, not deterministic.
What does Quantum tunneling refer to?
Quantum tunneling is a physics phenomenon within the area of quantum mechanics. Basically it refers to when a particle can tunnel through a barrier that it could not surmount in classic physics.
