The -2 is there because > you have to remove 2 to normalized phase and amplitude. *> You seemed to have missed the conditional "...that can be quantum > erased".* You are claiming that an intelligent Quantum Computer cannot use quantum erasure, so you must invoke new fundamental laws of physics, for which there is currently ZERO evidence, for your idea to work. On the other hand, Many Worlds does not need any new laws of physics to be viable, the current ones work just fine, and the only assumption it makes is that Schrodinger's equation means what it says.
