Since it is the first degree in the world

Seems niche.

Not good, way to specialised too early on. You're definitely not gonna get a quantum engineering job with a bachelors and you won't be able to get other engineering jobs as easily compared to if you did mech/elec/chem etc.

UNSW have always tended to offer a very wide range of engineering majors that might be better described as a specialisation of another major, and I think this is an example of that. I assume it's probably an effective marketing strategy as students will see an interesting major in the UAC booklet and find that it's only offered in name by UNSW.

If you're really interested in this program, i'd also recommend you look into standard electrical/telecoms programs both at UNSW and elsewhere and what elective choice subjects you can pick.
