Active Fault-Tolerant Quantum Error Correction: The Curse of the Open System.
Relying on the universality of quantum mechanics and on recent results known as the "threshold theorems," quantum information scientists deem the question of the feasibility of large-scale, fault-tolerant, and computationally superior quantum computers as purely technological. Reconstructing this qu...

Reconstructing this question in statistical mechanical terms, this article suggests otherwise by questioning the physical significance of the threshold theorems. The skepticism it advances is neither too strong (hence is consistent with the universality of quantum mechanics) nor too weak (hence is independent of technological contingencies). pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Philosophy of Science is the property of Cambridge University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
