Not at all. In fact a quantum computation only

So prior to the computation, all of the wrong

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.
Brent
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.
Brent
At what point in time does "the probability of measuring the wrong
answers" decrease?
1. Before the computation
2. During/after the computation
3. At the time of measurement
4. Something else
5. Indeterminate
My guess is #2, what do you think?
During/after is pretty broad. You're assuming that when the answer is
measured can be varied independently of the computation. Even classical
computations don't have an answer ready to be output at any time. Some
do, but interate so that the answer becomes more accurate with run
time. So I think it depends on the structure of the algorithm.
