Childs's work is prominently featured in the sources on quantum algorithms cited on the page and on the Wikipedia pages for related topics:quantum algorithms, quantum walk, quantum simulators.

Awards
He appears to meet wp:ACADEMIC. I wanted to add his awards, but I there are contradictions on various pages. this says he won:

University of Waterloo Outstanding Performance Award, 2013.

NSERC Discovery Accelerator Supplement Award, 2013-2016.

Ontario Early Researcher Award, 2011-2016.

Lee A. Dubridge Postdoctoral Prize Fellowship in Theoretical Physics, Caltech, 2004-2007.

Andrew M. Lockett III Memorial Award, MIT, 2003.

On the other hand, here is another list from another [https://services.iqc.uwaterloo.ca/people/profile/amchilds/ site}:


 * Ontario Early Researcher Award, 2011
 * Lockett Memorial Award, MIT, 2003
 * Hertz Foundation Fellowship, 2000-2004
 * Feynman Prize in Theoretical Physics, Caltech, 2000

Only two are the same on both lists. I cannot find evidence that there is such a Feynman prize. The awards can be added, but they need to be referenced to something reliable. LaMona (talk) 22:45, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
