Are there any actually good books that use quantum mechanics as a plot device?

Yes, the Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant. Kant's division between real and logical essences, mediated by a priori synthesis in pure intuition, is the only system which, remarkably, is prepared to provide a context for the indeterminacy of quantum physics.

Do not ask me to elaborate further, since this is 4chan and I have already wasted enough time with this comment.

>remarkably
Well, you know, Cunt's metaphysics significantly influenced Niels Bohr (et al.) and is basically one of the cornerstones of the Copenhagen Interpretation.
