I'm not making that distinction either. Quantum computation by its very nature requires special-purpose constructions. There is no such thing as a "general computation" quantum computer. Conceivably there could be a reprogrammable quantum computer able to be reconfigured to handle many different types of computation, but that would be more analogous to an FPGA than a general-purpose CPU.

Quantum computation is at most a superset of classical computation; every classical Turing machine is also a quantum Turing machine; the states and transitions are just purely classical.
