This sort of makes sense if you think of quantum computers as simulatable by a classical computer.

In quantum complexity theory, MIP^* = RE [1] was really big deal when it was published in 2020. It got a (relative) ton of press coverage, and there are lots of articles and blog post available that give a high-level of the result and techniques used. I like this one [2] from Quanta Magazine.

It is also being studied by many people, because it is a very important and surprising result. I guess that Connes conjecture is but one of the many things that is affected by the MIP* =RE result.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2001.04383/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

At first I wasn&amp;#x27;t sure whether that was true, because the paper is too long and complicated for me to verify. But then I found a series of questions and answers written by this quantum guy Scott Aaronson[2] and by this other quantum guy Kenneth Regan[3], who both know a bunch of quantum stuff. Each one of their blog posts makes me more certain about MIP* = RE, to the point that now I&amp;#x27;m 99.9% sure it&amp;#x27;s true, even though I could never verify it myself.
