Fowler, Austin G.

The field of quantum computation currently lacks a formal proof of experimental feasibility.

Qubits are fragile and sophisticated quantum error correction is required to achieve reliable quantum computation.
The surface code is a promising quantum error correction code, requiring only a physically reasonable 2-D lattice of qubits with nearest neighbor interactions.
However, existing proofs that reliable quantum computation is possible using this code assume the ability to measure four-body operators and, despite making this difficult to realize assumption, require that the error rate of these operator measurements is less than 10^-9, an unphysically low target.
