:::Fine. Informally polling colleagues, it seems that the sense of "continuous" used by the original article is significantly less common than the Braunstein–Lloyd–van Loock–etc. sense. (If anyone is curious, I have a draft of "Continuous-variable quantum computation" [[User:XOR'easter/sandbox|here]].)

:::One confusing thing is that the final reference (Adesso, G., Ragy, S. and Lee, A. R. (2014), Continuous variable quantum information: Gaussian states and beyond, [https://arxiv.org/abs/1401.4679 arXiv:1401.4679]) is very definitely about the infinite-Hilbert-space-dimension sense. So, this article has been somewhat of a blend since (...checks history...) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Continuous_quantum_computation&type=revision&diff=636120427&oldid=603505438 2014]. I take this to suggest that it might be better to start from scratch.

:::Having gone over the article again, editing it for encyclopedic tone and so forth, I think the best course of action would either be to '''move''' it to something like "Quantum computation of continuous functions", or to '''merge''' it into an appropriate article (like [[quantum computation]], as suggested above). There does appear to be a legitimate literature on this general area, but the current name for the article is quite confusing, and it is possible that there simply isn't enough article here to stand on its own.
