A problem with the conservation law observed in macroscopic quantum phenomena is a consequence of violation of the correspondence principle

Abstract

Jorge Hirsch drew attention to the contradiction of the Meissner effect with Faraday’s law and the law of angular momentum conservation. This article draws attention to the fact that the angular momentum can change without any force only due to quantization in both microscopic and macroscopic quantum phenomena. But if in the first case this change cannot exceed the Planck constant, then in the second case this change is macroscopic due to a violation of the correspondence principle. To explain the violation of the correspondence principle, Lev Landau postulated in 1941 that microscopic particles in superfluid helium and superconductor cannot move separately. Quantization can change not only the angular momentum, but also the kinetic energy of a superconducting condensate on a macroscopic amount. For this reason, the Meissner effect and other macroscopic quantum phenomena contradict the second law of thermodynamics. The reluctance of physicists to admit the violation of the second law of thermodynamics provoked a false understanding of the phenomenon of superconductivity and obvious contradictions in books on superconductivity.
