Abstract: In this paper we describe a complete quantum computational model of computation that is based on the production system. The presented description of the model does not require any quantum computation background. By doing so, the reason that quantum computation may be important for pure symbolical artificial intelligence may become clear. The feature universal quantum computer based on this idea will involve programs that are related to the classical artificial intelligence programming languages such as OPS5.
