Researchers from MIT used a cloud of ultracold sodium atoms to stand in for electrons achieving the 'edge state' effect and physics.

The researchers were able to observe interactions in their system that match previous theoretical predictions for edge states.

Phenomena such as the Quantum Hall effect are closely linked to superconductivity, and the idea of transferring electrical energy more efficiently, with no heat loss.
