Our site has been active for around [9 months](http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/106955/quantum-computing) now, and I think we have all gotten a fair idea of which type of questions are acceptable for us and which type are not. I feel it's time to pen down the **scope** of our site, for our [help/on-topic](https://quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic) page. To get some clues on how that page should ideally be framed, you may have a look at the [Physics SE: help/on-topic](https://physics.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic) and [Math SE: help/on-topic](https://math.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic) pages. 

New users are often confused about how they should frame their questions and whether their questions would be acceptable for us. For instance, we recently came to the conclusion that pure quantum mechanics questions wouldn't be suitable here - [they're a better fit for Physics SE](https://quantumcomputing.meta.stackexchange.com/a/357). At the same time, quantum information theory questions are [on-topic](https://quantumcomputing.meta.stackexchange.com/a/283/26). Thus, it would be helpful to have a handy link containing a detailed explanation of the acceptable topics, to which all users can easily refer. 

So please give your suggestions below, about the points we which we should include in our [help/on-topic](https://quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic) page. The moderators will try to take into account all your points and suggestions, and write up the page in a couple of weeks.

**Edit:** [@MEE](https://quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/users/11/mee) reminded that even the `Ask about...` and `Don't ask about...` sections on the [Tour](https://quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/tour) page need to be updated. You may give your suggestions regarding that too.
