Abstract
We discuss the effects of decoherence on fault-tolerant quantum comput ation and how it leads to accuracy thresholds required before arbitrar ily computations can be performed. We examine the feasibility of achie ving these thresholds in an ion trap realization when spontaneous emis sion is taken into account.
