Logical reversibility
نویسنده
چکیده
A method has been developed for transforming a program written in the probabilistic guarded-command language ( pGCL) into an equivalent but reversible program. The method extends previous work on logical reversibility to that language and pertains to “demonic” nondeterminism and probability. Use is made of a formal definition of logical reversibility and the expectation-transformer semantics for pGCL. The method should be useful in the compilation of a general-purpose programming language for quantum computation.

Reversivity, Reversibility and Retractability (meta 2012)
Three essentially different but usually mixed notions of program invertibility are considered. Reversivity when each action has a full inverse. Reversibility when each action can be undone (right inverse). Retractability when erroneous result can be retracted down to error in data. Constructive logical, algebraic, programming and realization aspects are considered for those types of programs.
متن کاملReversibility reconsidered: finite-state factors for efficient probabilistic sampling in parsing and generation
We restate the classical logical notion of generation/parsing reversibility in terms of feasible probabilistic sampling, and argue for an implementation based on finite-state factors. We propose a modular decomposition that reconciles generation accuracy with parsing robustness and allows the introduction of dynamic contextual factors.
متن کاملLogical Reversibility and Physical Reversibility in Quantum Measurement
A quantum measurement is logically reversible if the premeasurement density operator of the measured system can be calculated from the postmeasurement density operator and from the outcome of the measurement. This paper analyzes why many quantum measurements are logically irreversible, shows how to make them logically reversible, and discusses reversing measurement that returns the postmeasurem...
متن کاملA Novel Design of D-Flip Flop Using New RR Fault Tolerant Reversible Logic Gate
A Fault tolerant reversible logic has gained importance as they consume low power and less heat dissipation. The benefits of logical reversibility can be gained only after employing physical reversibility. Every future technology will have to use reversible gates in order to reduce power. This paper proposed a new fault tolerant reversible 4*4 RR-gate which satisfies the reversible and parity p...
متن کاملReversibility of a module with respect to the bifunctors Hom and Rej
Let $M_R$ be a non-zero module and ${mathcal F}: sigma[M_R]times sigma[M_R] rightarrow$ Mod-$Bbb{Z}$ a bifunctor. The $mathcal{F}$-reversibility of $M$ is defined by ${mathcal F}(X,Y)=0 Rightarrow {mathcal F}(Y,X)=0$ for all non-zero $X,Y$ in $sigma[M_R]$. Hom (resp. Rej)-reversibility of $M$ is characterized in different ways. Among other things, it is shown th...
