Notes

  1. 1.

    As the design of reversible circuits does not exclusively aim for a realization on quantum devices, the more generic notion of (circuit) line is used for what is represented by a qubit.

  2. 2.

    The term Clifford group for this set of operations has been introduced by Bolt et al. [BRW61].

  3. 3.

    Note again that the controlled Z gates applied e.g. for eliminating phase shifts are eventually realized by a Hadamard–CNOT–Hadamard cascade.
