Quantum dating

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Quantum dating is the act of measuring a particle's age, presumably on a quantum level. Quantum dating has the ability to tell what time period an object is from, past or future. In 2153, Starfleet scientists quantum dated a metal fragment from a Xindi probe to 400 years in the future. The Xindi also possessed this technology, and used it to prove that Archer had an artifact from the future. (ENT: "The Expanse", "Azati Prime")

In 2154 T'Pau proposed that quantum dating could prove that the Kir'Shara is from the time of Surak, after she and Archer brought the Kir'Shara to the Vulcan High Command. (ENT: "Kir'Shara")
