Changing the probility distribution of a particle's position requires adding energy. That energy must come from a source external to the particle you want to move. It also takes a LOT of energy. Thanks to e=mc^2, that means your ship starts to weigh more (meaning it takes more energy to change the probability distribution of particles)
Because you're putting in more energy to change the probability distribution of particles, the ship weighs more again, requiring even more energy.

Each individual particle in the ship has to be moved but cannot move itself, it requires an external source of power. Follow this through for every single particle on the ship and it becomes obvious that not every particle that makes up the ship can be moved.

The propagation of probability distributions is slower than light. If you want to move a particle 1 lightsecond amd you manage to instantaneously apply the required energy, it will still take at least 1 lightsecond before the particle moves the given distance.

You say this needs only one field. (Though it's a handwavium field, nothing to do with actual Field Theory)
What is the field made of? For example, the E field is made of electrons with photons carrying the force between electrons.

How is a H-field generated? What is physically happening to the space inside an H-field? (Not just a general "Particle probability of moving in all directions is constrained to give directional travel". That is not what is happening physically to spacetime and the particles in it. I want to know what particle interactions are occuring.)

If H-tech is really possible with your understanding of quantumn dynamics, do you have a peer-reviewed article presenting it? If not, why not present H-tech to a quantum physicist?
If H-tech is not physicly possible, Why try to fix one tiny aspect of LT's broken physics with more broken physics?
