Sub-quantum transporter
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
(Redirected from Sub-quantum teleportation)
The sub-quantum transporter was meant to be a device capable of transporting people from planet to planet. Had it been successful, it would have made the Earth Starfleet obsolete.
It was invented by Emory Erickson, who had previously invented the transporter years earlier. The sub-quantum transporter, though, was a failure. According to Erickson himself the sub-quantum transporter was based on a fundamentally flawed concept and would in fact never have worked at all. In 2139, during early tests, Emory Erickson lost his son, Quinn Erickson, in a transporter beam. (ENT: "Daedalus")
