Eh, that model might still allow you to probabilistically send information back in time, in a way that saves the universe from an outright causal paradox (a weird "chronology-protection" principle of sorts). You can't send your patent back in time and generate prior art that destroys it, but you can end up with a 50:50 probability of doing so, and that description is logically self-consistent. Probability is still "classical".

All communication is probabilistic. There is no such thing as a noiseless communications channel. But per Claude Shannon you can always tilt the odds in your favor as much as you like given enough time and energy.
