Is there a formal definition - or any mainstream speculations - for the causation of a 'quantum leap'?

Disregarding references to the '80s TV series of the same title, I'm finding definitions and discussions about quantum mechanics, but none for the 'quantum leap', per se.

There's a proffered, at least partial explanatory speculation at:
