If you are using the term in a discussion about any visible system, you are dealing in science fiction guesswork, and more than likely woo-woo.

Yes I am aware quantum effects have been shown in a - barely - visible object, but neither in the manner nor with the effects that are normally posited when an "enlightened" person is speaking of quantum souls or quantum thinking yadda yadda....
