DFT is but one of them. It may be the most popular one nowadays, but most people who know anything about quantum chemistry are either working hard on methodology or steering clear of it altogether when it comes to wanting accurate (milliHartree or better) results.Elia Diodatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834465156174945738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13869903.post-1161191975813943652006-10-18T12:19:00.000-05:002006-10-18T12:19:00.000-05:00I took a look quant-ph/0610117 and my head explode...I took a look quant-ph/0610117 and my head exploded. The author launches into an attack based on the fact that he has not understood the basic of fault-tolerance nor of quantum theory, proceeds to complain about issues which have certainly been addressed by the community, claims that most people working on fault-tolerance are computer scientists and that this makes the results wrong (which might be news to people like John Preskill who wins bets with Stephen Hawkings and also works on fault-tolerance), and, in general, puts forth a series of arguments which take about two seconds to refrute with a small working knowledge of the theory of fault-tolerant quantum computation.
