Draft:Qumode
| Submission declined on 6 November 2025 by Ldm1954 (talk). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. We cannot accept articles that are little more than definitions of words or abbreviations as entries. A good article should begin with a good definition, but expand on the subject. You might try creating a definition for this instead at Wiktionary, which is a dictionary. Please only do so if it meets that sister project's criteria for inclusion. These require among others, attestation for the word or phrase, as verified through clear widespread use, or its use in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year.

How to improve a draft
You can also browse Wikipedia:Featured articles and Wikipedia:Good articles to find examples of Wikipedia's best writing on topics similar to your proposed article. Improving your odds of a speedy review To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags. Editor resources

Comment: You need to do more than just provide a definition. We are an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. Ldm1954 (talk) 15:24, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

In quantum computing, a qumode (/ˈkjuːˌmoʊd/) is the fundamental unit of quantum information in continuous variable (CV) systems where there is an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space (d=∞) .[1][2]
Qumode versus qudit
[edit]A qumode has an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space (d=∞), unlike a qudit which which has a discrete-dimensional Hilbert space (d<∞).[1][3]
A truncated qumode effectively acts as a qudit both mathematically and physically within a limited space. where d is the number of possible states.[4]
