HECK NO! An optics computer is a computer running on light, but a quantum computer is a computer where most components are at a quantum-Hall state of matter (hey did you know that there are more than 15 states of matter). In other words, optic computer=light, quantum computer=weird.
An argument against a small time quantum: Efficiency. A small time quantum requires the timer to generate interrupts with short intervals. Each interrupt causes a context switch, so overhead increases with a larger number of interrupts. An argument for a small time quantum: Response time. A large time quantum will reduce the overhead of context switching since interrupts will be generated with relatively long intervals, hence there will be fewer interrupts. However, a short job will have to wait longer time on the ready queue before it can get to execute on the processor. With a short time quantum, such a short job will finish quicker and produces the result to the end user faster than with a longer time quantum
