                Not at all.  In fact a quantum computation only

            So prior to the computation, all of the wrong answers
            existed?

            There is no answer until the output is measured.

        Then what did you mean by "all the wrong answers have a high
        probability of being eliminated". Eliminated from what?

        I mean not showing up as the answer.


    And they don't show up because... ?

    Their amplitude in the superposition is small.  If you've got
    something to say, just say it.

You seem to be avoiding the implication that the system starts in a state where all possible answers, both wrong and correct exist.

You seem to think that because something might exist in the future it exists.
