Welcome to Quantum Fiction
quan.tum fic.tion
1) A genre of literature in which otherwise supernatural, paranormal or fantasy elements are made plausible by elements of quantum science in the story; 2) Literary genre coined by American novelist Vanna Bonta to define stories that hinge on the quantum view of reality, categorizing fiction that identifies human consciousness as an inextricable component of physical reality; "the genre is broad and includes Life"; 3) Stories where the material world (empirical science) and an unquantified animating force (spirit/the observer) meet; 4) Stories in which theme, character or plot pivots on some aspect of quantum mechanics, such as the wave-particle duality of matter where reality behaves as both particle (solid) and wave (energy), depending on the observer (characters, point of view); 5) Any tale highlighting elements such as synchronistic adventures (entanglement theory), multi-dimensional reality, interactive metaverses, nonlinear time or consciousness as a participant in the creation of physical reality.

Vanna Bonta talks about quantum fiction
Book One
Creator: Vanna BontaA mysterious young woman with intense blue eyes and total amnesia is found nude and disoriented in a science fiction writer’s hotel bathroom during a fan convention. The writer, Mendle Orion, can't help but notice an uncanny resemblance between the girl and a character in the story he is writing. She soulfully and innocently responds to people, speech, and things around her as if she were seeing the world for the first time.
When the writer protectively takes her in and names her AIRA FLIGHT after the character in his book, an irked former girlfriend and friends engage a psychologist to discover the young woman’s identity. Aira's naiveté and honesty are very special, but most shocking is the discovery that she has no navel.
Each day Aira discovers the urban world around her: crime, war, poverty, love, nature, music, food, laws, fashion, and video games. The earnest, open-faced young woman teaches those around her to see things differently. She begins showing signs of superhuman physical abilities and genius intelligence. As clues to her identity are investigated, the pieces begin fitting together, and they are only the beginning of unexpected discoveries about her origins and humanity.
"Whatever 'quantum fiction' is, we need more of it. Bonta's first novel is reminiscent of Heinlein for its exuberant infusion of mystery, romance, and adventure into good, basic science fiction." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"An inspiring romantic adventure... auspicious... genre-bending... refreshing..." -Booklist, AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
"FLIGHT is absolutely the beginning of the end of trite, simplistic stories that have followed the same blueprint for ages. It is time to move into realms reserved for Plato and Dante. It is time to accept the quantum vision of the universe and FLIGHT opens the door to the incredible. I loved it!" - Bruce Stephen Holmes, TIMELESS VOYAGER RADIO
