Electrons in a conductor behave like a crowd on an escalator: each one moves on its own, but together they create a flow. If you make them circle around a ring, their angular momentum (a measure of rotation) can couple to a magnetic field, like gears in a clock.

In the quantum world, there is its own dance. Two superconducting toroids, each comfortably holding its quantized magnetic flux, whirl in a synchronous waltz. Between them is a vacuum, not a single field line, yet they mirror each other’s moves without fail.
