Quantum analogues of SPACE complexity classes We often consider complexity classes where we are bounded in the amount of space our Turing machine can use, for example: $\textbf{DSPACE}(f(n))$ or $\textbf{NSPACE}(f(n))$. It seems that early in complexity theory there was much success with these classes such as the space-hierarchy theorem and the creating on important classes like $\textbf{L}$ and $\textbf{PSPACE}$. Is there analogous definitions for quantum computation? Or is there some obvious reason why the quantum analogous would not be interesting?

It seems like it would be important to have a class like $\textbf{QL}$ --- a quantum version of $\textbf{L}$: require a logarithmic number of qubits (or maybe a quantum TM uses logarithmic space).
You might want to check  Space-Bounded Quantum Complexity, by John Watrous.

There you have the result that for any $s=\Omega(\log n)$, a Quantum Turing Machine running in space $s$ can be simulated by a probabilistic Turing Machine with unbounded error running in space $O(s)$. You also have that any Quantum Turing Machine running in space $s$ can be simulated in $NC^2(2^s) \subseteq DSPACE(s^2) \cap DTIME(2^{O(s)})$
