Quick question; is "anti-quantum" a concept in mainstream physics?
I got curious since it was mentioned in another (now closed) thread and I can't remember seeing it in my brief studies of the topic and I'm unable to find references to "anti-quantum" in physics. My guess is that the term was invented as part of a non-mainstream speculation, hopefully someone could confirm or link to some material.

 

Side note: I'm aware of "anti-quantum" in the context of computer science and cryptography. The term refers to "quantum-proof", "quantum-safe" or "quantum-resistant"; algorithms that are thought to be secure against a cryptanalytic attack by a sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shor's algorithm.

AFAIK, that is the case. In any event, it appears to be basically undefined.

In physics, if it is not quantum it is continuum.

Thank you for the question and for the information (I had never heard of shor's algorithm) in your OP.
