Humanity is about to face a quantum leap forward.

Although there, admittedly, have been problems, this is a giant step in the right direction. We had problems there, But I would say that this is a quantum leap forward when you think of the Mengistu government and the horrible repression, the famine, the tyranny that existed under him, and you see this movement toward freedom and democracy over there.

( figuratively, informal, nonstandard ) A large, massive, significant change. Quantum Leap is an American sci-fi drama starring Scott Bakula as Dr Sam Beckett, a physicist from the future who is the victim of a time-travelling.
However, if we reject any theory that falls short of this ideal, science will have to progress in quantum leaps, each with infinitesimal probability.

Intact Prothean 'paleo-technology' is rare the beacon seemed to promise another quantum leap of technology, akin to the discovery of the mass effect drive and relays. It proved to be a solid state data storage device, part of a galaxy-spanning comm network similar to the modern extranet. Its resemblance to the Prothean data banks recovered on Mars provoked immediate interest from the Alliance and the Citadel Council. With the help of his holographic 'Observer' (Dean Stockwell), Sam remembers the experiment and learns that his fate is to 'quantum leap' back and forth in time with the. The beacon was a Prothean artifact unearthed on the Alliance colony of Eden Prime. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula), a brilliant scientist, takes part in the Quantum Leap experiment which lands him in 1956 as a test pilot.
