Quantum nanotechnology

Transapient nanodevices, and machines incorporating them, are able to actively increase, reduce, or even eliminate, frictional forces at will and in a tightly controlled manner, resulting in systems that are generally several times, or even several orders of magnitude, faster and/or more efficient than their modosophont equivalents. Even more impressive is the apparent use of quantum technology to manipulate generalized (as opposed to specially prepared or constructed) quantities of matter ranging from the molecular to the macroscale without the use of any moving parts. The transfer plane and the quantum impellor are both believed to be based on quantum nanotechnology.

Term coined by Old Earth late Industrial Age scientist Max Planck to describe an individual particle of light. At the subatomic level, matter and energy occupies discrete packages, or quanta. These govern all particle interactions and physical qualities, including electric charge, spin, and so on. - Quantum Decoherence - Text by M. Alan Kazlev
A process in which the ambiguous quantum state of a particle, such as the nuclear spin of an electron representing a qubit in a quantum computer, is resolved into an unambiguous state, whether measured or not (conscious observers are not needed). - Quantum Entanglement
