Free will arising from quantum indeterminacy, well, that's a thought of Robert Penrose. The bad news is that even he didn't manage to convince others and the theory didn't really took off. In other words, we are not yet ready to understand such a link.

However, there is the Strong Free Will Theorem of Conway and Kochen. Essentially, they prove that "if humans have free will, then elementary particles already have their own small share of this valuable commodity", see http://www.ams.org/notices/200902/rtx090200226p.pdf
