:That's not how quantum computing works. Not only does quantum computing not make everything magically O(1), not all algorithms speed up in the same way: see [[post-quantum cryptography]] for some discussion. -- [[User:The Anome|The Anome]] ([[User talk:The Anome|talk]]) 19:03, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
:: Even if not all programs benefit from the speed-up when run on a quantum computer.. it does show that this "transcomputational problem" term won't age well and may become inacurate and a source of confusion in the future.

== "Any number greater than 10^93 is called a transcomputational number" ==
The page currently opens with "a transcomputational problem is a problem that requires processing of more than 10^93 bits of information", then says, "[a]ny number greater than 10^93 is called a transcomputational number". Is this consistent? If we're talking about processing information in excess of 10^93 bits, I might expect the label "transcomputational number" apply to those numbers greater than 2^(10^93). It seems worth clarifying the discrepancy between "n bits" and "n", or correcting the description in some other way.

See above. I don't see any relevance for a single persons delusions.
