Could I put a large city into geostationary orbit?

+0
−0

I want to put a circular city in geostationary orbit. The city will have a radius of 20Km. I was thinking of using quantum trapping/levitation to achieve this.

Here's what quantum trapping is:

Macroscopic quantum self-trapping. In quantum mechanics, macroscopic quantum self-trapping is a phenomenon occurring in the state of matter called the Bose-Einstein condensate between two superconductors linked by a non-conducting barrier known as a Josephson junction.

There's more information on Physics Stack Exchange.

Using earth's magnetic field would it be plausible to use the above method to put the city in locked geostationary orbit? No handwavium, please.
