It's about - finding and implementing in hardware an "embedding" which solves certain classes of problems efficiently, especially for which there is no known "efficient" process otherwise. - finding an elegant way of describing those classes of problems and - routes for identifying them. I think [0] Schwartz-Zippel as applied to Polynomial Identity Testing is an instructive example where using noise as a computational resource improves efficiency.
