The practical implementation of this idea requires complete control over all of the 2n independent amplitudes of a many-particle wave function, where n>1000. The principles of quantum computing are discussed from the practical point of view, with the conclusion that a working device cannot be built in the foreseeable future. %G English %L hal-00324191 %U https://hal.science/hal-00324191 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
