Microwave spectroscopy experiments have been performed on two quantum levels of a macroscopic superconducting loop with three Josephson junctions. Level repulsion the ground state and first excited is found where classical persistent-current states opposite polarity are degenerate, indicating symmetric antisymmetric superpositions states. The persistent currents 0.5 microampere correspond to center-of-mass motion millions Cooper pairs.
