That should be fine. It's possible that the mechanism may have not even been discovered in your world yet, but... [ She shrugs a little ] At least I don't have to explain what quantum physics is, so that's better than some people.

[ Though when she says that so casually, it makes it all the clearer that it's a bit odd that she knows apparently a fair amount about it. She doesn't look very old (and in fact, her baby-faced features make her look a bit younger than she is...), but when she speaks, it with a surprising amount of authority on the subject. ]

It's called the Lutece Particle where I'm from. It's a particle that never falls. The research isn't really clear which it is, but gravity is either countered by it or doesn't effect it at all. So, things float. Columbia is able to harness them into mechanisms that let the buildings float, and then they can just be moved with propellers and the like.
