The standard generic quantum computer model is studied analytically and numerically and the

is determined. This phenomenon appears in an isolated quantum computer without any external
decoherence. The onset of quantum chaos leads to quantum computer hardware melting, strong
quantumentropygrowth anddestruction ofcomputeroperability. Thetimescales for development
of quantum chaos and ergodicity are determined. In spite the fact that this phenomenon is rather

drops only linearly with the number of qubits n. As a result the ideal multi-qubit structure of the
computer remains rather robust against imperfections. This opens a broad parameter region for a
possible realization of quantum computer. The obtained results are related to the recent studies of
quantum chaos in such many-body systems as nuclei, complex atoms and molecules, finite Fermi

systems and quantumspin glass shards which are also reviewed in thepaper.
