Abstract

Various quantum versions o f the most basic models o f the classical finite automata have already been introduced and various modes of their computations have already started t o be investigated. In this paper we overview basic models, approaches, techniques and results in this promising area of quantum automata that is expected to play an important role also in theoretical computer science. We also summarize some open problems and research directions to pursue in this area.
