computational complexity - Quantum computation implications of (P vs NP)

What impact would P!=NP have on the characterization of BQP?




Before I begin, I had a similar post closed for mentioning the recently released (to be verified) proof that P!=NP. This question is about the implications of P!=NP, not about the proof internals or specifics.



Does P!=NP imply that NP-Complete problems cannot be solved in Quantum Polynomial time?



According to Wikipedia, quantum complexity classes BQP and QMA which are the bounded-error quantum analogues of P and NP. If P!=NP was a know fact, does that imply that BQP!=QMA?
