It is my understanding that P = NP might have serious implications for quantum physics (ie, quantum physics suggests that P shouldn't be equal to NP).

Nah. That "result" circulated a few years ago in the Internet, but it was mostly a mix of hand waving and hidden assumptions. It's not a mainstream result, and I doubt that it will be confirmed someday.

It's interesting because it mix two interesting topics, that are well known in the popular science forums, but are very technical and most people don't want to read all technical the details of both.
