Are Quantum States Exponentially Long Vectors?

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

I'm grateful to Oded Goldreich for inviting me to the 2005 Oberwolfach Meeting on Complexity Theory. In this extended abstract, which is based on a talk that I gave there, I demonstrate that gratitude by explaining why Goldreich's views about quantum computing are wrong.
