Quantum Order from a Movable Trap
The orchestra walks onto the stage, and the stage suddenly starts moving along with the musicians. That is how a soft crystal behaves when quantum order is born inside it: the lattice does not stay a rigid floor but builds a trap for particles and glides along with it.
In a rigid lattice, quantum coherence dies from heat, because the slightest jitter of atoms disrupts the synchronized dance of electrons.
