I looked up this claim about wavefunction collapses and it leads to bounded randomness which does not still go beyond standard Turing computers. I would listen to physicists rather than randoms making unverified claims.

The randomness thing doesn't really match reality, because it's known to be incomplete: it only describes what happens to particles observed in a lab, everything else is out of scope. That's its area of applicability. That's why there's a problem of interpretation of quantum mechanics: what complete theory it approximates.

Another ambiguity here is is it theory or reality that should be computable.
