Option 1

 * Article title
 * Quantum computing


 * Article Evaluation
 * The articles title matches the topic. It is written with a neutral tone. There are, however, several paragraphs without any citation. There are 81 sources which seem to be from real academic studies and journals not just science magazines like popular mechanics. The article seems to cover a large variety of subjects with different levels of detail. On the talk page the article is rated a B-Class. On the talk page people are asking questions about whether they understand the material correctly and asking that things like a "three bit" example to be added.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Quantum error correction


 * Article Evaluation
 * The title matches the topic. The article is mostly neutral, however it does emphasize that this is an important piece to make quantum computing work. The citations are pretty spars. There are many paragraphs without any citation. There are only 20 sources for this article, but the sources that are there seem to be reasonably reliable. However, they are primarily from books which I don't have access to so I can't be certain. This article covers a fair number of topics with varying amounts of detail. On the talk page the article is rated a C-Class. On the talk page there is not a lot of communication. only a topics questions such as "Approaches Other Than the Stabilizer Formalism?".

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Quantum entanglement


 * Article Evaluation
 * The title matches the topic. It is written with a neutral tone. There are some paragraphs that don't have citations but for the most part the claims have a citation. There are 126 sources which seem to be from real academic studies and journals not just science magazines like popular mechanics. The article covers many topics and covers each of them generally well. on the talk page the article is rated a B-Class. There aren't many topics being discussed on the talk page currently. Only four one of them being "Quantum Woowoo".

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Quantum channel


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article title matches the topic for the most part, but may at points expand the topic. The article has a mostly neutral tone, but it does emphasize some examples importance over others. The article has very few citations. Many more are needed. There are only 2 sources for this article, but both seem to be from reasonably trustworthy academic sources. The article covers a good few topics but many of them only get a one paragraph description. On the talk page the article is rated a Start-Class. The talk page does have a lot of information. The largest topic is "Examples". There are about five other topics.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Quantum cryptography


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article title matches the topic. The article has a neutral tone. The article has many citations for how long it is. Most claims have citations. The article has 64 sources which seem to be from real academic studies and journals not just science magazines like popular mechanics.
