Quantum computers deserve to be mentioned in discussions about analog computers. Under the assumption that nature is quantum at its core it follows that every analog computer could instead by replaced by a quantum computer running a suitable algorithm.
This connection opens doors for research in both directions, how to design quantum algorithms and how to built physical computing systems that make use of quantum mechanics.
