Abstract
Quantum computer is considered as a generalization of Turing machine. The bits are substituted by qubits. In turn, a "qubit" is the generalization of "bit" referring to infinite sets or series.
It extends the consept of calculation from finite processes and algorithms to infinite ones, impossible as to any Turing machines (such as our computers).
However, the concept of quantum computer mets all paradoxes of infinity such as Gödel's incompletness theorems (1931), etc.
A philosophical reflection on how quantum computer might implement the idea of "infinite calculation" is the main subject.
