We develop a multi-valued logic for quantum computing for use in multi-level quantum systems, and discuss the practical advantages of this approach for scaling up a quantum computer. Generalizing the methods of binary quantum logic, we establish that arbitrary unitary operations on any number of d-level systems (d > 2) can be decomposed into logic gates that operate on only two systems at a time. We show that such multi-valued logic gates are experimentally feasible in the context of the linear ion trap scheme for quantum computing. By using d levels in each ion in this scheme, we reduce the number of ions needed for a computation by a factor of log d.
