Is quantum physics a science?

If so, then somebody needs to tell some quantum physicists I have read that they better quit mentioning things like intelligence.

Care to cite any sources (peer reviewed of course) that show physicists support ID?

I would refer to that part of physics as 'quantum mechanics'. You can derive from that field a lot of things especially some macroscopic effects like the molar heat capacity.

I would assume here that you are talking about Penrose, as he is the only one I have read that actively talks about "intelligence", but he is not talking about intelligent design, rather the nature of intelligence on a quantum level.
Of course, you could be referring to the idea of observer-observed interactions at the quantum level, but that is not really about intelligent design either.
