In QM you cannot "determine" the future state of the system. For instance, if you "precisely" measure where an electron is, you have absolutely no knowledge of its momentum so you cannot know where it will be.

We are in perfect agreement then. : )

Yes, for those where QM applies, thus some things are not deterministic. At the moment, when I look away from my computer for a second and then look back, it is still where it was before.
