You do realize that a quantum is, by definition, the smallest possible change, don't you?
...just to add that, in quantum mechanics, the quantum is the exact amount of energy required, or released when switching between two energy levels. The difference between this and classical mechanics, is that these amounts are exact, and the energies that quantum systems can have are exact and don't vary (and are calculated via the Schrödinger equation).
Yes, those amounts of energy are typically very small, but that's not what quantum means. Technically, the word means "a specific amount".
