I do not claim that(show me where I did, or I will report you for spreading misinformation!)
Sure, no problem. Feel free to report me. I have given peer reviewed publications so far. You have not. However, you do it right in the next sentence:
Maui said:
I did claim that particles in BM had definite positions at all times which is contradicted in experiments and prototypes of quantum computers that were already tested(so particles cannot have definite position at all times, experiements, however short, prove that this is not so).
You explicitly claim that BM is contradicted in experiments which means you claim it is ruled out. These forums work by giving credible (peer reviewed) evidence for claims. So please provide peer reviewed publications saying that BI is contradicted by experiments or showing that quantum computers do not work in BI.

Can you show that a quantum computer uses indistiguishibility of particles instead of superpositions? Preferably something peer reviewed and not a random opinion, like the opinions expressed in this thread.
Did you not like Aaronson's paper (he is one of the really big fishs in QC theory)? In case the style of writing is too dense for immediate understanding, here is a watered down summary from his grad level course "quantum computing since Democritus" which shows why he dislikes BI, but how quantum computing still works in terms of degenerate wave functions in BI:

Ok, there are more. It is most clearly expressed in publications on linear optical quantum computing. For example:
Phys. Rev. A 71, 032320 (2005) stating "Typically linear optical quantum computing (LOQC) models assume that all input photons are completely indistinguishable."
This one is about the dual rail qubit. The guinea pig of LOQC.
Then the more recent problem-specific (non-universal) boson sampling implementations all just rely on indistinguishable photons in a multiport interference setup requiring just indistinguishable photons:
Science 339, 798 (2013) (
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/339/6121/798).
Science 339, 794 (2013) (
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/339/6121/794)
Nature Photonics 7, 540–544 (2013) (
http://www.nature.com/nphoton/journal/v7/n7/full/nphoton.2013.102.html).
Nature Photonics 7, 545–549 (2013) (
http://www.nature.com/nphoton/journal/v7/n7/abs/nphoton.2013.112.html).
For the last 10 years or so more or less every paper on efficient sources of indistinguishable photons was motivated by mentioning the need of indistinguishable photons for LOQC. See for example:
Nature Nanotechnology 8, 213–217 (2013) (
http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/v8/n3/full/nnano.2012.262.html?WT.ec_id=NNANO-201303)
which introduction starts with
"Single photons have been proposed as promising quantum bits (qubits) for quantum communication, linear optical quantum computing and as messengers in quantum networks. These proposals primarily rely on a high degree of indistinguishability between individual photons to obtain the Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM) type interference that is at the heart of photonic controlled logic gates and photon-interference-mediated quantum networking".
Finally, there is a whole thesis on quantum computing in BI:
http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.2563. But yes, I am aware that a thesis is only somewhat peer reviewed and.

You can write a rebuttal to the researches that implemented the first quantum computer at MIT and the Institute of Waterloo because they say:

Why? That is a pop-sci summary. It is handwaving and simplifying.

Says who? Your word against experimentalists that have already proven you wrong multiple times? I can also post random noise but have little time for that.
If it is that easy, you can surely come up with some peer reviewed publication backing your claim that experimentalists have proven me wrong. And to say it again: the pure existence of working quantum computers does not. Strange that everybody here says that you are wrong, including people working on quantum computing, no?
