>"wave function collapse" is essentially defined as uncomputable. Maybe uncomputable using a macbook pro or classical computer, yes (I accept this for the sake of argument)... But that doesn't make it "not a computation" fundamentally. In other words, it's not super clear and obvious that quantum mechanics is not fundamentally computational. We are trying to build quantum computers which take advantage of some interesting quantum effects, after all. I suspect that if/when we get those quantum computers to do useful things, we will still describe what they are doing as "performing computations", even if Bell's theorem rules out hidden variables with the locality assumption. > inherent unpredictability Note also that the presence of randomness does not necessarily preclude something from being computational in nature.
