When are correlations amongst electrons actually essential to prediction in biochemistry? With metalloenzymes? Photosynthesis? What problems couldn’t be addressed adequately with approximations like density functional theory?
On the time thing, I think one issue is that it is very difficult to keep entanglement from proliferating with the environment. So reversibility means some earth-sized tensor of with unquantifiable terms.
