Uncomputation
text:
Uncomputation is a technique, used in reversible circuits, for cleaning up temporary effects on ancilla bits so that they can be re-used. Uncomputation is a fundamental step in quantum computing algorithms. Whether or not intermediate effects have been uncomputed affects how states interfere with each other when measuring results. The process is primarily motivated by the principle of implicit measurement, which states that discarding a register during computation is physically equivalent to mea
