You comment: "You really need the original multiverse
to explain how a quantum computer can perform a
quantity of parallel computations that exceed the
number of particles that comprise it (or even exist
in our universe)".
I would say: When a "quantum computer" actually
exists, then we might be able to study it empirically
and rationally decide upon the need or lack thereof
for a "multiverse" or a "many worlds" theory in order t
o explain how it functions.
Until the mythical "quantum computer" actually exists,
it is just one more pseudoscientific myth that is hobbling
science and eroding science's credibility.
