    I'll try. As I recall, to 'quit claim' is to convey your interest in real estate (via a quit claim deed) (whatever that interest may be) to another, without making any representations as to the quality of your interest.

    To 'quiet title' is an action is used to settle a dispute or controvery. Such a suit is used to enable the rightful owner of a property to transfer clear title.

    But, I'm not an attorney, and I might be wrong.

    A quit claim deed is a transfer of any interest in the property the grantor may have. A quiet title is a legal suit brought to where notice is given to all parties with a recorded interest (whom must be notified of action) to prove their claims or they will be judicially eliminated.
    A quiet title suit is usually brought by one who already has some legal interest in the property and wishes to contest the validity of others. The outcome is decided in court.
