People who work on the theory of neural nets have created a lot of mathematical theorems. It’s plausible that some of those theorems are helpful when you want to solve P versus NP.
Econophysics is a fairly established field. I think everyone involved understands that money is something different than atoms who interact with other atoms. That doesn’t invalidate the field of Econophysics.
You can make a pretty decent living as scientifist by using insight generated in field A to solve the problems of field B.
Research into quantum algorithms is likely to produce knowledge that’s useful for people who work in other fields such as biomechanical systems.
The answer to both “could-questions” is yes.
