    If QMA!=NP then quantum mechanics really enables new kinds of logic: I can prove things to a quantum computer that I can't prove to a human.

    The year is 2053. Mallory, now poor, robs a cryptocurrency by quantum suicide. Investigators find zer source of randomness wasn't quantum.

    You can't solve NP-complete problems by quantum suicide. You're more likely to survive because the machine got hit by a meteor and broke.
