Beg to differ. Essentially, no outcome can be predicted with certainty. The slightest change in the most insignificant factor will change all subsequent events. The very act of measuring a state changes its characteristics. In my opinion quantum computers will be even more unpredictable than the computers of today. I have every confidence that free will transcends beyond any physical state of predictability.
