Does free will exist according to quantum physics?

I am a complete newbie to philosophy, but I'm genuinely curious as to whether or not free will exists. I guess it comes down to whether there is such a thing as true randomness, and how this ties into quantum physics. I know practically nothing but the basics about quantum physics, so what I'm wondering is: 1) do theories about it make true randomness possible? and 2) how is consciousness affected by quantum physics? Based on the answers to these questions, could you conclude that free will exists, or is everything absolutely predetermined?

Inherently true randomness has nothing to do with free will. Proving true randomness would simply put another hurdle in the determinists argument for hard determinism. As well as quantum’s randomness has yet to be understood to a comfortable level, so that bridge hasn’t gotten much traffic yet. But even if quantum randomness does boot out hard determinism, soft determinists will probably find a work around as well as it does nothing to inherently forward the argument for free will.
