title: Comment on "anharmonic properties of the vibrational quantum computer" [J. Chem. Phys. 126, 204102 (2007)].
abstract: Suitable molecules for quantum computing cannot be discussed in terms of anharmonicity and CNOT gates alone. The validity of the approximate approach [M. Zhao and D. Babikov, J. Chem. Phys.126, 204102 (2007)] is limited. Frequencies and anharmonicities cannot be used independent from the molecule. Hermite polynomials with the linear approximation for the dipole moment lead to oversimplified gates with potentially low intensities.
