Abstract: Using the methods of quantum trajectories we investigate the effects of dissipative decoherence in a quantum computer algorithm simulating dynamics in various regimes of quantum chaos including dynamical localization, the quantum ergodic regime, and quasi-integrable motion. As an example we use the quantum sawtooth algorithm which can be implemented in a polynomial number of quantum gates. It is shown that the fidelity of quantum computation decays exponentially with time and that the decay rate is proportional to the number of qubits, number of quantum gates, and per gate dissipation rate induced by external decoherence. In the limit of strong dissipation the quantum algorithm generates a quantum attractor which may have a complex or simple structure. We also compare the effects of dissipative decoherence with the effects of static imperfections.
