We explore the computational implications of a superposition of spacetimes, a phenomenon hypothesized in quantum gravity theories. This was initiated by Shmueli (2024) where the author introduced the complexity class $\mathbf{BQP^{OI}}$ consisting of promise problems decidable by quantum polynomial time algorithms with access to an oracle for computing order interference. In this work, it was shown that the Graph Isomorphism problem and the Gap Closest Vector Problem (with approximation factor $\mathcal{O}(n^{3/2})$) are in $\mathbf{BQP^{OI}}$. We extend this result by showing that the entire complexity class $\mathbf{SZK}$ (Statistical Zero Knowledge) is contained within $\mathbf{BQP^{OI}}$. This immediately implies that the security of numerous lattice based cryptography schemes will be compromised in a computational model based on superposition of spacetimes, since these often rely on the hardness of the Learning with Errors problem, which is in $\mathbf{SZK}$.
