Abstract
In the qubit semantics the \emph{meaning} of any sentence is represented by a \emph{quregister}: a unit vector of the --fold tensor product , where depends on the number of occurrences of atomic sentences in . The logic characterized by this semantics, called {\it quantum computational logic} (QCL), is {\it unsharp}, because the non-contradiction principle is violated. We show that QCL does not admit any logical truth. In this framework, any sentence gives rise to a \emph{quantum tree}, consisting of a sequence of unitary operators. The quantum tree of can be regarded as a quantum circuit that transforms the quregister associated to the atomic subformulas of into the quregster associated to .
