It seems that quantum torpedeos are the next generation of photon torpedoes but I was wondering what made them better and what makes them 'quantum'.
Answer
Quantum torpedoes used a plasma warhead while photon torpedoes used a matter/antimatter warhead.
From what I understand about matter and antimatter, I would think that a photon torpedo is much more powerful, unless the plasma used in a quantum torpedo somehow produces a more powerful explosion...
But, this is where inconsistencies in quasi-science come from, lol.
