the claim

Quantum computers use quantum entanglement to perform computations.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that quantum computers use quantum entanglement to perform computations?

Partly. Several reference and review sources state that quantum computers harness entanglement (alongside superposition) to process information, while a physics discussion and a code-construction paper argue entanglement is not the key resource and can sometimes be removed. The evidence partially supports the claim but also partially contests the necessity of entanglement.
