3. Quantum?
Perhaps you mean "trinary"? Or tri-state?

4. !
A classical computer has a memory made up of bits, where each bit holds either a one or a zero. A quantum computer maintains a sequence of qubits. A single qubit can hold a one, a zero, or, crucially, a quantum superposition of these, allowing for an infinite number of states. A quantum computer operates by manipulating those qubits with (possibly a suite of) quantum logic gates

7. I didn't know this either until yesterday, when I heard a program
that Michio Kaku did on this on his Pacifica program. He's really a great guy!
