Quantum Computation and Many Worlds
arXiv:quant-ph/0210204
Abstract
An Everett (`Many Worlds') interpretation of quantum mechanics due to Saunders and Zurek is presented in detail. This is used to give a physical description of the process of a quantum computation. Objections to such an understanding are discussed.
