Quantum mechanics has nothing to say about the supposed abilities of such "oracles". And discussion of such pseudoscience is not permitted on PF.

An oracle in quantum physics is a theoretical concept that represents a black box that can provide information about a quantum system without revealing any information about the system itself. It is used in quantum algorithms to solve problems that are difficult or impossible to solve with classical computers.
An oracle works by encoding the problem to be solved into a quantum state, which is then manipulated by quantum operations. The oracle acts as a "black box" that transforms the initial state into a state that contains the solution to the problem. The solution can then be extracted by measuring the final state.
Currently, there is no known physical implementation of an oracle. However, researchers are working on developing quantum algorithms that can be used to simulate the behavior of an oracle. These algorithms may have practical applications in fields such as cryptography and optimization.
One limitation is that oracles cannot be used for all types of problems. They are most effective for problems that have a clear structure and can be efficiently encoded into a quantum state. Additionally, the use of oracles requires precise control and manipulation of quantum systems, which can be challenging to achieve in practice.
Quantum supremacy is a term used to describe the point at which a quantum computer can solve a problem that is beyond the capabilities of classical computers. Oracles play a crucial role in achieving quantum supremacy by enabling the development of quantum algorithms that can outperform classical algorithms for certain types of problems.
