Role of entanglement in general purpose quantum computing

[QUOTE="Strilanc, post: 5600645, member: 96470"] How are you planning to run Grover's algorithm or Shor's algorithm, or [I]any[/I] quantum algorithm for that matter, without some of the qubits being entangled along the way? In that sense it's not so much a resource as an unavoidable necessity. Entanglement does also have uses as a resource, independent of specific algorithms. A good example is quantum teleportation, which has to burn entanglement to work. I wouldn't be surprised if early quantum computers used teleportation as a scaling mechanism. It might even be better, in terms of the number of errors, to not directly send qubits over a noisy quantum channel and instead send EPR pairs which you then use (in combination with the classical internet) for teleportation. Since EPR pairs are interchangeable, you could then use error detection instead of error correction over the quantum channel. [/QUOTE]
