Apologies, I hadn't even read the entire abstract so I didn't notice that they went on to argue that Feynman's conclusion was wrong. Still, I think that their proposal is something different from the usual notion of a "quantum computer", since I was under the impression that people like Feynman and Deutsch had already shown definitively that a quantum computer cannot solve any classically-unsolvable problems. I'll leave it to others who understand this paper better than I to discuss the merits of this new proposal.>Dear Jesse, > > Please read the below referenced paper.

It explains the basis of my claim.
