Classical Boolean algebra gates, also known as logic gates, are fundamental components in classical computing that perform logical operations on one or more binary inputs to produce a binary output. These gates include AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, and XOR gates. In classical computing, these gates are irreversible in nature, leading to information loss due

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
