There are two parts to this, very broadly. The first is the unique ID and the second is to make sure the unique ID is real, cannot be spoofed and cannot be tampered.
The second part is why you need a blockchain - to record the unique IDs (and its associated metadata - like location etc) in a place that is accessible but tamper proof.
Blockchain is a peer-to-peer storage technology, where in addition to the hash and the algorithmic signatures, the important aspect is that its distributed and stored on all the computers taking part in the network.
The QFS comes into picture because traditional blockchain can be manipulated by someone with computing power that is comparable to the entire blockchain network. A lot of us believe that CCP and CIA have large number of computers in the Three Gorges Dam and other areas in China where electricity is generated. Using these devices the [DS] controls the blockchain network of Bitcoin and other crypto, and can track these supposed anonymous transactions. I personally believe they even have the power to override the node consensus that is required for adding a new entry in the blockchain - essentially being able to control transactions.
By using quantum computers, you ensure that bad actors will not have enough computing power to do this, at least at the present.
So if there is any kind of watermarking, it needs to be similar to what I am describing, hence QFS Blockchain, to me, sounds more than just some buzzwords, but rather exactly what is essential to make it work.
I looked up QSF Blockchain and all I could find was a video posted on reddit.
I still don't see how blockchain plays any role in securing elections. And no need for a quantum computer as you don't need blockchain and thus you don't have to worry about someone having a massive set of nodes on the distributed ledger trying to get their fraudulent chain agreed upon as the valid chain.

okay
