Season 5 takes place in the early 2380s, putting it approximately 470 years after what we currently in 2024 call "quantum physics" was discovered. With 360 more years of distance, I have some trouble believing that the word "quantum" holds the same mystique that it does now.

Even in 2024, "quantum physics" is really just "physics" in many applications. Transistors and LEDs are both inherently "quantum," for instance.

(There's a separate question I'm burying here for now.)
