Even granting the weirdness of quantum mechanics there may not be any wiggle room, as random will is not free will.

Oh don't you know that acts of free will only take place in the subset of chains of cause and effect that can be traced to the (decoherence-induced) collapse of a quantum state, and also just happen to turn out to be perfectly randomly distributed samples of the particular distribution quantum physics predicts for that situation?

Free will of the gaps lives on [1].
