Given the proven halting problem for Turing machines, can we infer limits on the ability of strong Artificial Intelligence?

Have there been proposed extensions to go beyond a Turing machine that solve the halting problem and if so, would those proposed extensions have value to advance strong Artificial Intelligence? For example, does quantum computing go beyond the…

An example is the halting problem, which states computing cannot be solved by exhaustion, but which humans avoid trivially by becoming exhausted. Humans typically give up what seems like a lost cause after a certain point, whereas a computer will…
