Just for historical knowledge...
OpenStack Neutron, the OpenStack project for networking, used to be called Quantum. This project still exists and is extremely active -- and is why we still hold this name. I don't work on Neutron much so I'll let them (and or TC/foundation reps) reply as to how they'd feel about it.
``` I am the creator and maintainer of the programming language "qb" (qb ยท PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/qb/>, qb <https://lschreiber.eu/qb/>) and I wanted to implement a package manager similar to how Maven, Cargo or Poetry works. I picked the name "quantum" for this program and noticed that this name was already in use on pypi for a package developed by you. ``` more historical context neutron was renamed form quantum due to trademark and copyright reasons so calling the package manager for your new language quantum may hit the same legal issues.
