Libertarian free will requires negation of determinism. So indeterminism at the level of basic physics is a bonus point for libertarianism.

However, it is not required that free will functions in a quantum mechanical sense. It can as well be a basic process by itself, not reduced to other more basic processes.

Libertarianism usually takes free will as something of a basic process by itself.

That being said, there are indeed authors who use quantum mechanical models of free will in their arguments (see some online references..).

Furthermore the Free Will Theorem states that if one entity can have free will, then given the quantum nature of the universe, other entities can have it as well. So in a sense the quantum nature of reality can play a role.

PS: I cannot rule out quantum models of free will neither in principle nor via physical/neural arguments. Indeterminism (such that is suitable for choice) can manifest as a result of quantum mechanics, even if the brain/body is seen as purely macroscopic, because, for example, existing non-linearities can make the micro indeterminism relevant even at these macro scales (leaving aside purely quantum effects which are manifest even at macro scales and concepts like "quantum holism").

PS2: A state which is compatible with more than one future outcome (a "superposition" state) is a plausible model of free will and this state need not directly be related to quantum mechanics, as noted above, it can be formed with many other ways. Furthermore one should not conflate "not predetermined" with "out of my control", random in the sense of the first does not lead to the second.

Various areas can exhibit features similar and/or common to those peculiarly manifest in quantum mechanics. Finally, one should not conflate "not predetermined" with "out of my control", random in the sense of the first does not lead to the second.
