Abstract

Watson-Crick quantum finite automata were introduced by Ganguly et.al. by combining properties of DNA and Quantum automata. In this paper we introduce a multi-head version of the above automaton. We further show that the multi-head variant is computationally more powerful than one-way multi-head reversible finite automata. In fact we also show that the multi-head variant accepts a language which is not accepted by any one-way multi-head deterministic finite automata.
