Even if it turned out that all of quantum field theory was completely bogus, I would still expect the basic framework of quantum mechanics (i.e. unitary evolution, the Born rule for converting amplitudes to probabilities, density matrices describing mixed states) to be correct. If quantum computing was not possible, that would mean that everything we thought we knew about physics was…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1011.6451/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
