I'm going to be pissed if Black Mirror is right and quantum computers are magical reality rewriters

I think we can rule that out just by sheer reasoning. If this tech existed it would be discovered by another life forms already and we'd likely never exist. Unless we are first to being to discover such tech.

But either way thats not how quantum computers work even if we speculate in that direction.

Or they don't know about us and we never figured in their rewriting.
