TL;DR Summary

The experimental quantum drive, intended to demonstrate thrust without propellant, is missing and presumed lost in space after contact was lost with the Barry-1 cubesat. The drive, developed by IVO Ltd, is controversial due to its potential to defy the law of conservation of momentum. Previous attempts to create similar drives, such as the EmDrive, have been met with skepticism and explanations rooted in conventional physics. With the IVO drive lost in space and the laws of physics still holding true, the extraordinary claims surrounding it remain unproven.
