Is that not the problem that the threshold theorem solves?

Is that not the problem that the threshold theorem solves?
- rwallace 9y agoAs I understand it (disclaimer: not a physicist), that's the open question: does there exist a stable configuration of atoms that will create conditions such that the threshold theory applies in full, errors are adequately corrected, and an N-qubit quantum computer can be built and operated for cost polynomial rather than exponential in N? Or does that line of thinking rely on assumptions that can't actually be met?
