Introduction to quantum computation.
Motivation to study quantum computation.T
he power of quantum: superposition, entanglement and interference.

The qubit: 
- The double-split experiment; 
- Qubit as levels of energy in electrons;
- Geometric interpretation;
- Formal definition;

Evolution of a qubit:
1) by observing qubits:
- measurements in the computational basis;
2) by unitary operations:
- properties:
- examples of unitary operations.
