Fails to mention Heisenberg uncertainty, which in my opinion is a theoretical ceiling to this approach. Also it needs to account for cost of compute relative potential useful work from these quantum engines. If the energy cost of compute exceeds potential useful work, then it’s still net negative (or useless work). Finally there’s the question of hidden patterns and the spectrum of randomness. Some systems are more random than others. The potential for useful work within a reasonable energy cost of compute will decline when we travel down the spectrum of randomness. Systems which are at maximal Heisenberg uncertainty, I.e. particles are not entangled, and have no correlation with a superstructure of other entangled particles, will not hold any further improvement to knowledge and thus zero potential work. This is the ultimate entropy of the local and macro system. Probably also the cause of certain violation of conservation of energy principles, such as dark energy.
