Theoretical computer science question

Does MIP* = RE's major breakthrough mean quantum computers are more powerful than turing machines?

Henry Yuen's youtube comment on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL7DEkXV_60 (should be one of the top comments) explains that with the help of quantum computers, it is possible to solve a problem that has been proven to be unsolvable by a turing machine.

Does that mean quantum computers are effectively hypercomputers more powerful than turing machines?

Bonus Question : If we, humans, were able to find a way to surpass the Turing barrier, would that mean the human mind is more powerful than a turing machine, making us effectively hypercomputers?

let's make a /sci/-related CYOA

If you don't know what a cyoa is (choose your own adventure), just go to /tg/ and ctrl+f cyoa

I'm making a math/physics cyoa about making a discovery (no matter how crazy it is) that will allow you to know a lot more about the universe. The title isn't decided yet, you're welcome to suggest one. It will contain the classic features we see in many Cyoas such as a point system with drawbacks to choose.

For the first choice category, you choose a discovery that gives you some form of "knowledge" power. I'm including an example with the hyper computation idea on the next post. It has the perk with its title, with two drawbacks to choose from.

Lets share ideas and write some cool choices
