1. Scale: They're simulating just 13 qubits with QuTiP and making grand claims about quantum thermodynamics. The computational complexity they're glossing over here is astronomical. Anyone who's actually worked with quantum systems knows you can't just handwave away the scaling problems.
2. Measurement Problem: Their whole argument about instantaneous vs time-averaged measurements is just repackaging the quantum measurement problem without actually solving anything. They're doing the same philosophical shell game that every "breakthrough" quantum paper does by moving around where they put the observer and pretending they've discovered something profound.
Nice work too!
Someone tell me it’s all going to be okay and this digital world isn’t going to just crumble someday. Please. Anyone.
