We study the geometry of the nullcone N(V^k) for several copies of a representation V of a reductive group G and its behavior for different k. We show that for large k there is a certain 'stability' with respect to the irreducible components. In the case of the so-called theta-representations, this can be made more precise by using the combinatorics of the weight system as a subset of the root system. All this finally allows to calculate explicitly and in detail a number of important examples, e.g. the cases of 3- and 4-qubits which play a fundamental role in quantum computing.
