QTI apparently implies a very efficient machine to compute the solution
to any well defined problem. Suppose you want to factor a large number.
The machine simply generates some random numbers using thermal noise,
computes their product, compares it with the number to factor, and in
case they do not match triggers a gun pointing to your head.

Every time you use the machine, you would find yourself experiencing a
universe where the machine either gave you the right answer or you
miraculously escaped death, perhaps with injuries. It may take some
tuning to make the machine robustly lethal so you can get the right
answer most of the time and avoid injuries.

This doesn't just give you immortality, but it also solves your
financial problems so you don't have to speculate on financial planning.
