Sometimes, there is an absolute limit on the number of terms an officeholder can serve, while, in other cases, the restrictions are merely on the number of consecutive terms.
For example, Maxwell's Equations would always be capitalized, while quantum mechanics is usually un-capitalized. I searched half a dozen sites for an answer to this but found no clue about a rule. So go either way that makes you happy, but (most of all) be consistent.
Part of the Nanotechnology glossary: Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.
