Abstract :
Attention is increasingly focused on quantum computing as a path to the continued rapid growth of information-processing technology. But like other physical circuitry, quantum computers must face the uncomfortable fact that man-made objects aren´t exact reproductions of idealized devices and aren´t invariably perfectly reproducible. The consequences of this imperfection threaten the future of quantum computing.
