Abstract | |||||||||
| We propose and discuss two postulates on the nature of errors in highly correlated noisy physical stochastic systems. The first postulate asserts that errors for a pair of substantially correlated elements are themselves substantially correlated. The second postulate asserts that in a noisy system with many highly correlated elements there will be a strong effect of error synchronization. These postulates appear to be damaging for quantum computers.. Comment: 33 pages. v.3. substantial changes: mathematical formulation of the conjectures added | |||||||||
