What would such a world look like?

I don't know. I don't have a very good understanding of regular quantum computing, much less the non-Born "fantasy" quantum computers that Aaronson used in his paper. But I'm going to guess that your speculation is probably wrong, unless you happen to be an expert in this area. These things tend not to be very intuitive at all.

I honestly can't imagine my evolution story is right. It just seemed like an immensely fun opportunity for speculation.
