It could make sense to rename and rescope this to "quantum mechanics", with quantum computing "just" being the most prominent subtopic of that topic in EA. Or it could make sense to make a separate entry intended to cover quantum mechanisms apart from quantum computing.
But currently I'm not aware of many Forum posts to tag for quantum mechanics that aren't about quantum computing, which is why I tentatively chose the current name and scope.
