Does the word "quantum" here have meaning as a probability?

I wonder if there is any research done in making smartphone cameras more quantum efficient. I feel like the battery savings is negligible so more budget has been put into other aspects of the camera.

Quantum efficiency in image sensors refers to the ability of the sensor to convert incoming photons into electrical signals. It is a measure of the percentage of photons that are converted into useful electrical signals, and is a key factor in determining the sensitivity and overall image quality of the sensor.

Does the detector give each electron the same amount of energy as it gets "pushed" by the photon, or is there some distribution? And if so, does this depend on the frequency of the incoming photons?
