A listing of the minimal requirements for creating a quantum computer is given. I also discuss several recent developments in the area of quantum error correction, a subject of importance not only to quantum computation, but also to some aspects of the foundations of quantum theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1996-12-16T15:53:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum computer", "solid state physicist", "quantum error correction", "minimal requirements", "quantum computation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1996cond.mat.12126D" } } }
