Needs an inhomogenous magnetic field to move the atoms up or down: magnetic dipole in an inhomogenous magnetic field. TODO how it is generated?

Produces torque but no force. For example:

We define a "water compass" as a compass made by placing a magnet floating on a water surface to reduce friction and allow it to align with the Earth's magnetic field. This is a common children's scientific experiment.

A hugely important copper mine in Sweden.

Selenium was initially discovered from ore from this mine.

2024 address: 26 rue des Fossés Saint-Jacques, 75005 Paris

www.c12qe.com/articles/la-deeptech-c12-inaugure-sa-premiere-ligne-de-production-de-puces-quantiques-a-paris explains their choice of address: there is a hill in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, and they have a lab in a deep basement, which helps reduce vibrations from the external environment. Interesting.
