The Church-Turing-Deutsch Principle. (Which isn’t a theory in the empirical sense, but somewhat more speculative.)

Well, you obviously can do that. Whether that computer is Turing equivalent, more limited, or potentially a hypercomputer is...well, Church-Turing-Deutsch says the last is always false, but good luck proving it.
