Inverts a given target qubit if and only if both control qubits are in the 1 state, with T-depth 1, using measurement to perform the adjoint operation.

operation ApplyLowDepthAnd (control1 : Qubit, control2 : Qubit, target : Qubit) : Unit is Adj + Ctl

Description

Inverts target if and only if both controls are 1, but assumes that target is in state 0. The operation has T-count 4, T-depth 1 and requires one helper qubit, and may therefore be preferable to a CCNOT operation, if target is known to be 0. The adjoint of this operation is measurement based and requires no T gates, and no helper qubit.

Input

control1 : Qubit

First control qubit

control2 : Qubit

Second control qubit

target : Qubit

Target auxiliary qubit; must be in state 0

Output : Unit
