.. but we have a ST connection so forgive me. In STNG they mention Heisenberg compensators to allow the transporter to work. What's you view on that?

Anyway, it has something to do with being able to mention tachyons which are travelling backwards in time, and the paths of which can show how they are being affected by future particles, thereby allowing the transporter to predict where those particles WILL be. This, couples with the location sensor, then allows accurate positioning of whatever (or...

It was a delaying tactic to outsmart Professor Moriarty who incidentally is cast in Picard 3.
For none Trekkies:
The theory for how transporters move matter from one place to another falls foul of the Heisenberg uncertainty priciple which says it is impossible to put a coordinate on a moving particle. So the creators of Star Trek made up the ‘Compensator’ as a component on the holodeck.
In a famous ST:TNG episode, ‘Ship in a bottle’ they configured the compensator to trick Professor Moriarty into believing he could leave the holodeck, when in reality that holodeck was just in another holodeck. So he left a box within a box, and was still matter in the same place, and not moved to somewhere else.
A very clever plot device, Tora. Moriarty might be a bit cross when he works out forty years later that he has been duped.
