It should be a fairly obvious implementation of a nested quantum computer to run any of these infinite processing programs. We will soon have oracle type computers that can answer any question with the reservation that the top level of the nest will have to be large enough to hold both the question and the answer. Current quantum computers are at the 3 or 4 bit level but scientists are confident of exponential advancement in future development. Of course then the problem will be, "Are you smart enough to understand the answer?"

You radically overstate the expected capabilities of quantum computers. They can't even do NP-complete problems in polynomial time.
