In terms of quantum theory, the behaviour of a quantum computer is not fundamentally any different to the behaviour of any small scale particle or collection of particles.
Even buckyballs have been shown to self-interfere in a double-slit experiment, and that doesn't _prove_ multi-worlds over the Copenhagen interpretation.

There might be other philosophical reasons to believe in many-worlds, and I am partial to it myself, but experimental observation of this form would not to my understanding contribute to that argument.
- somethingroma 8y agoThey've gotten it a little bit bigger than a buckyball https://arxiv.org/abs/1310.8343 https://arxiv.org/abs/1310.8343 Also what's cool is that these things are visible under an electron microscope (so are buckyballs iirc).
