How can the controlled swap gate be used to compute the AND gate in a reversible manner?
Sunday, 06 August 2023 by EITCA Academy
The controlled swap gate, also known as the Fredkin gate, is a fundamental gate in reversible computation that can be used to compute the AND gate in a reversible manner. Reversible computation is a computational paradigm where every operation is reversible, meaning that the input can be uniquely reconstructed from the output. This is in

How can the XOR gate be considered reversible, and why is the AND gate not reversible?
Sunday, 06 August 2023 by EITCA Academy
The XOR gate, also known as the exclusive OR gate, can be considered reversible due to its ability to recover the input from the output. In reversible computation, a gate is considered reversible if it is possible to uniquely determine the input from the output, and vice versa, without any loss of information. This property
