Quantum computation is an exciting new field, which touches on the foundations of both computer science and quantum mechanics. It provides a new model of computation that is both physically reasonable and more powerful than classical computing. In a classical computer, a bit is a fundamental unit of information, classically represented as a 0 or 1. In a quantum computer, the fundamental unit of information, called a quantum bit or qubit, is not binary but rather more quaternary in nature.
