Using the word "quantum" to describe anything other than the fundamental notion that a physical property may be "quantised" is bizarre to begin with. Quantised means that the magnitude can take on only certain numerical values, rather than any value, at least within a range. For example, the energy of an electron bound to an atom (at rest) is quantised. This accounts for the stability of atoms, and matter in general.
To use it to try and explain how astrology, telepathy, telekinesis, dowsing, perpetual motion, etc works is analogous to trying to explain to a builder how telepathy works by "brick vibrations", or that astrology works by "brick patterns" or that you can power a free energy machine by utilising the "zero-brick energy" of the universe just goes to show that you're trying to demonstrate your profound unknowledge of the subject in order to justify your claims.
I am trying to get a collection of examples of where people have used the quantum misunderstanding to bamboozle the general public which will eventually be published on a Quantum Police website, alongside an anlaysis of how the claim is spurious.
Post any examples here and I'll eventually get round to collating them together.
Incidentally, as some of you may be aware, the Metro's(a free UK paper) astrologer once likened quantum physics to making patterns and fractals
