By "quantum physics", I mean the theoretical research field (QT/QM) with peer-reviewed papers being published in some area, as opposed to someone's vague notion that through QT, some anecdotal evidence or phenomenological suspicion may ultimately be explained in theoretical form.
Anyone can have a vague notion about something they experience, or something which they think may be a candidate for research, and simply point to the field of quantum physics as already offering an explanation for it. Problem is, the theoretical support from scientific research is actually not there (i.e. for telepathy). People hijack science in this manner all of the time, perhaps because it makes them feel validated.
