We briefly look at the background of the research field of "quanta and information" from the epistemological point of view. Then quantum computation is very briefly explained and in particular quantum brachistochrone as my own research. The optimal quantum control to drive a transition from a given state to a target state in the shortest time naturally leads to the two state vector formulation of quantum mechanics advocated by Aharonov et al.
