The link at the bottom of the page also explored other areas at the end of their essay, http://nonlocal.com/quantum-d/v2/kbowden_03-15-97.html http://nonlocal.com/quantum-d/v2/kbowden_03-15-97.html
like computers 'bomb testing' humans, and alternatively 'bomb testing' computers running calculations that are seeded with a random quantum generator. In this way, it sounds like you could potentially run every possible input of a test program (you are still limited to the number of computations from the potential length of time you are testing that machine's quantum state), and bomb testing different programs you could find which will complete in the time tested on all inputs. Heck, if I'm reading/understanding that right it might be possible to 'bomb test' a polynomial verifier on randomly chosen subsets for linear time to the maximal input length and check if it validates/completes, i.e. a summing of a randomly chosen subset of elements of a larger set to see if they add to 0 in testing time the length it would take to sum all elements ;)
Either that or, more likely, I'm totally confused by this quantum madness. I'll have to ask my physicist friend :(
