:I vote for moving this page to [[quantum programming language]]. It is singular but on the other hand, that is normal for an encyclopedia. For example, the articles [[operating system]] and [[programming language]] is also singular, but they are not limited to just ''one'' operating system or language. In particular, calling it "quantum programming" would suggest that the article is about ''how'' quantum programming works, which is misleading. -- [[User:Omnissiahs hierophant|Omnissiahs hierophant]] ([[User talk:Omnissiahs hierophant|talk]]) 16:50, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

:I disagree with merging this page since Quantum Programming doesn't require a programming language. Programming languages are used only on quantum computers with dedicated quantum processors that can accepts a coded instruction set. Other types of quantum computers do not need a coding languages to program quantum circuits and can be done with physical means. This article just needs to be expanded to properly explain what a quantum circuit is so that it is accurate. This is the same for classical computers which do not need programming languages to be programmed either and can be done as simply as switching jumpers on a integrated circuit board.

I think this article need to focus on quantum programming of circuits and systems and not just programming languages because it's misrepresenting the terminology. [[User:OnePercent|OnePercent]] ([[User talk:OnePercent|talk]]) 19:31, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

== Not exactly a 'coatrack'... ==

Items are included in this article with no more support than their own documentation, sometimes not even that. Allowing this sort of primary sourcing means that it is we humble Wikipedia editors who are deciding what should be included, and that feels a little off.
