What quantum computers may tell us about quantum mechanics
... underlying quantum state is ηN , where η is the detector efficiency per qubit. For large numbers of qubits, this requires extremely high detector efficiencies in order to give a reasonable success probability. Even for a 99% efficient detector with each of 1000 qubits, the probability that the compl ...
