In Starfield, Quantum Essence is a unique Aid-style item that allows your power meter to recharge faster. It is used to speed up the regeneration of Starborn Powers to unleash powerful attacks or enhance your defensive capabilities from the menu. You can obtain it by locating and defeating the Starborn enemy. You will most likely find Starborn enemies after completing a temple.
