Article seems to fail both WP:NOTESSAY and possibly also WP:GNG. It does not really define its apparent topic, although it seems to be about the application of quantum computing to continous problems. I do not think the phrase "continuous quantum computing" is in common parlance with this meaning, however. The sources provided are applications of quantum computing to continuous rather than discrete problems; however I don't think they establish notability of this concept or phrase- none that I checked mention "continuous quantum computation" or any variant thereof.

- Comment Seems to me the content could be merged into a section at Quantum computing. Continuous quantum computation was studied with DARPA funding. prokaryotes (talk) 13:50, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- I would tend to agree- although I would suggest that the amount of useful material on the page as it currently stands is absolutely minimal. I don't think personally that every project given a funding grant is notable, also. Porphyro (talk) 14:06, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- Fully agree with you. prokaryotes (talk) 14:36, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTESSAY. This appears to be a personal essay on the topic. I'm not sure anything here is salvageable for our purposes. Continuous quantum computation may be a sufficiently notable topic for an article (unclear to me), but I think WP:TNT may be appropriate here. Ajpolino (talk) 16:11, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
- Keep – I wrote a new lede (brief, but better than the cold open that was there before), and I condensed and reorganized the existing text so that it reads more like an article than an essay. The subject is definitely worth covering; one review by Braunstein and van Loock alone has 1350 citations in the Web of Science (and over two thousand citations by the more relaxed standards of Google Scholar).
