Quantum computer

Article is still a Featured article.

A request for references was made back in April 2005, under this version. Since then there has been little to no improvement in that field. Just like in April 2005, there are a plethora of books and links in the further information section, but those are not references. A topic as foreign to most people as this one should be much better referenced. This article was promoted to FA under now outdated January 2004 standards. joturner 16:06, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. I'm not able to analyze this in its specifics, but looking at it generally I don't think we should rush to de-feature. There is indeed a plethora of books and links in the ref section, so I have some confidence the page is factually accurate and comprehensive. The intro is a good length and the body is OK, if a little over-technical. Not brilliant but "well written" enough. Perhaps go hunting for individual editors, via its history or that of related pages. I think this keepable if you find one or two people. Marskell 08:47, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. I think that in the article's current state it is only readable by specialists in physics and information theory. This is not helped by the article's bias toward NMR quantum computing, which has features which make it more complex than other implementations. I would move to de-feature this article until it is cleaned up. That said, I will work to add some references to this article in coming weeks. Bjohnson00 22:07, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
