Travel in Quantum Realm in Ant-Man and the Wasp
From the movie Ant-Man we know that Janet Van Dyke got inside the missile which was lost in the sea.
The duo undertook many S.H.I.E.L.D. operations, until a mission in 1987 to disarm a Soviet ICBM en-route to the United States. In order to stop the missile, Janet disabled her regulator to shrink small enough to enter the missile and though the mission was successful, Janet was lost to the Quantum Realm.
Later, in the film Ant-Man and the Wasp ,through entanglement with Scott, She manages to send her coordinates and Hank Pym goes in there and gets her.
My question is, how did Hank travel thousands of miles and go to the Pacific Ocean to get her? Considering his size of atomic levels, I believe it must be difficult. Is there a scientific explanation which allows people/things to travel large distances in quantum theory?

Space and time are bonkers in the quantum realm.
It's possible that while floating around she got (maybe even exponentially) closer to home.
SF: So there are layers that time does not pass by?
KF: That’s what they’ve told us. They’ve told us that it, time and physics and space work very differently down there. But that was part of a, that was a big question during the development process. And as usual, you’re the first one to pick on it a little bit, which is… should she have aged or not? And we felt that new Quantum Realm, we could justify either one. But that ultimately you wanna have an emotional reunion with Michael Douglas, an emotional reunion with Evangeline Lily and our first instinct had always been specifically now Michelle Pfeiffer from that first movie. It felt like it should be somebody who’s the right age. As opposed to Michael Douglas with somebody who has not aged. Or Evangeline Lily connecting with somebody who’s not aged. That just adds another layer of sort of sci-fi weirdness. Yeah. And we’re not afraid of sci-fi weirdness. I love it. But not in that case.
Also, different parts of the Quantum Realm have different "perceptions" of time and space, so this might have contributed to shortening the distance Hank needed to travel.

What is the quantum realm in Ant-Man and the Wasp?
When Janet was lost in the Quantum Realm, she was only left with her suit and genius intellect. By the time Hank was finally able to reconnect with her, she had become a survivor in the Realm. She carried a cloak, the mouthpiece from her Wasp mask, and a staff made from her wings.How did the WASP survive in the quantum realm?
Ant-Man theorizes that because he was able to jump forward five years in what felt like five minutes, the Avengers could travel back in very little time. They use Pym Particles (created by his mentor Hank Pym before he disappeared in the snap) to shrink to subatomic size and enter the Quantum Realm.How does Ant-Man enter the quantum realm?
Ant-Man was left trapped in the Quantum Realm when Janet, Hank and Hope van Dyne were erased by the snap. There he remained for five years, until a kindly rat activated the Quantum Tunnel again.Hank Pym's Journey to the Quantum Realm | Ant-Man and the Wasp | Michael Douglas | Evangeline Lilly
