[QUOTE=".Scott, post: 5481945, member: 489053"] I think the key is that with a quantum computer, you "store" the superposition long enough to perform several quantum operations on it. While it is being stored, it needs to be isolated from anything that could measure of affect it. Also, in the interference experiment, you are only dealing with a single particle at a time. With a quantum processor, you are guiding the interaction of many qubits. There are a handful of quantum computer "gates". Perhaps someone with more knowledge about this than myself can explain why these "gates" cannot be applied dynamically to photons. I suspect the problem is that even though a photon can interact with superpositions of itself, it will not interact very well with other photons. [/QUOTE]
