Popis: We analyze some features of the behaviour of quantum automata, providing analogies and differences with the corresponding stochastic models. In particular, we prove: • there is a quantum automaton where the change of state depends on unitary transformations defined by matrices with nonnull amplitudes that accepts a non regular language with cut point zero and inverse error polynomially bounded, • stochastic automata with matrices having nonnull elements and with polynomial bounds on the inverse error recognize only regular languages, • the class of stochastic languages contains the class of quantum languages, • quantum languages are empty or contain an infinite number of words, • the class of quantum languages is not closed under complementation.
