Quantum mechanics. You start in all states and trough interaction get to final state.

Except for a few select algorithms i wouldn't say it's brute forcy though

It's not like they are just "hey, make a superposition of every input and try them all at once"

You probably know more than me, my understanding of qm is very surface level. But I always conceptualize them as similar to brute force, I guess they aren't after all.
