Do you any links to those mathematicians and physicists? I ask because there is a certain class of quackery that waves quantum effects around as the explanation for everything under the sun, and brain cognition is one of them.
Either way, quantum computing is advancing rapidly (so rapidly there's even an executive order now ordering the use of PQC in government communications as soon as possible), so I don't think that moat would last for long if it even exists. We also know that at a minimum GPT4-strength intelligence is already possible with classical computing.

I'm just saying that no one can be sure of their own position because we lack proof on both sides of the question. Regarding the rapidity of development of quantum computers, that's debated as well.
