Two things: 

1. You need to escape the inner quote marks in the custom command.

2. AFAICT Properties are case sensitive. Your drawer includes a "TITLE"
   property but your custom command searches for "Title".

This custom command worked for me:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands 
      '(("x" "TEST" tags "TITLE=\"Quantum Mechanics\"")))

You could also just type the following:

C-a m TITLE="Quantum Mechanics"

Note: you can also use regexps in property searches. E.g.,

C-a m TITLE={quantum.*mechanics}

Best,
Matt
