>From page 1474 of Webster's New 20th Century Dictionary, Unabridged, 2nd
Edition, under "Quantum":

"Quantum jump (or leap):... (b) any sudden and extensive change or advance,
as in a program or policy."

I hope this lays this matter to rest. (There are several senses etc. for
"quantum" given that have nothing to do with Physics.)
