I have read that when the rate in change in flux wrt time=0 the current become constant and the flux get trapped in the superconductor loop but how does this flux quantization exist exactly and under which rules it exist?
and i want to ask is there something called voltage quantization?! and if yes how does it happen or occur?
and how can we explain the flux quantiztion using QM.

I don't understand what you are saying.
 
the mag field is zero inside a superconductor, but if you have a torus shaped superconductor there can be a field in the hole of the torus (not in the superconductor). and the flux of this field (the field strength times the area of the hole) is quantized in units of
<br /> \frac{2\pi\hbar c}{2e}<br />
where c is the speed of light and e is the magintude of the electron charge. the fact that a (2e) appears can be related in a handwaving way to cooper pairs.
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
