*'''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.

::Also happy to support merging the salvageable info into another article, but I lack the knowledge of the topic to do that. Kudos to{{ping|User:XOR'easter}} for all the work they've put into this. [[User:Ajpolino|Ajpolino]] ([[User talk:Ajpolino|talk]]) 20:50, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
*<s>'''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 [https://journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/10.1103/RevModPhys.77.513 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).</s> [[User:XOR'easter|XOR'easter]] ([[User talk:XOR'easter|talk]]) 16:45, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
::A comment- I think your lede is at odds to what the original article is supposed to be about. The article, and all its examples that I have checked, are about the application of regular quantum computing with a finite quantum dimension to problems that have a continous "flavour". The only source that uses the title phrase "continuous quantum computation" is the [http://quantum.cs.columbia.edu/html/project.html Columbia grant page], and if you check the list of publications there, they are about digital quantum computation. Given that "continuous quantum computation" is not a phrase in regular usage, I would suggest that an article under that name, with the lede you have provided, is not tenable. I have reverted your edits- though I believe they would be a good start for a page called "Quantum information with continuous variables" or the like.
