Computational complexity theorists argue that semiclassical gravity's non-linear dynamics would enable impossibly powerful computation, proving gravity must be quantized. The paper uses the Schrödinger-Newton equation to show that classical gravity coupled to quantum matter leads to computational contradictions.
