Nielsen and Chuang, obviously. Alternatively, John Preskill's notes are also quite good and freely available on the web.

He has very specific reasoning for why it wont work. You can't dismiss him without addressing his points.

When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

Got any examples of this? Or is it just your optimism on progression that is speaking?

Clarke's three laws
1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

I can, by a single obvious argument.

It works.

>Kalai argues that limiting the noise in a quantum computer will also limit the computational power
"it works" does not address his argument.

Did you not stop to think that someone who is researching this might actually know there are "functioning" quantum computers already?

Here is the full article by the way.

>1 logical qubit requiring x physical qubits
With current qec algos.

>built a model for noise under the assumption that noise influences every qubit
He's right given his model correctly describes noise dynamics. Is it though?

>I'm quite certain
>I agree my assumptions are unusual
>I think that
>I am pretty certain, while a little nervous to be proven wrong
He is very careful with what he claims. That's usually a sign of a sensible scientist who knows.

His argument is not strong enough to permit stopping to work on QC. But I see what you mean. Thanks for the link. Interesting read.

I doubt he suggests that either, I think he would like to be proven right or wrong some time.

He was serious. Any real scientist will know these three observations.
