Quantum is not mentioned by name in Casino Royale, however, the events of the film revolve around a quantum satellite that is central to the plot. The satellite is capable of intercepting and decoding the transmissions of other satellites, which gives the user an enormous advantage in terms of intelligence gathering. The film's villain, Le Chiffre, is using the satellite to intercept the transmissions of a rival organisation, and James Bond is tasked with stopping him. In the course of the film, Bond destroys the quantum satellite, thwarting Le Chiffre's plan.
