Reverse communication is also possible. Prepare Alice in . Bob encodes as and as . Since , phase kickback giveswhere and . Alice measures in the Hadamard basis: means zero and means one, deterministically.
The target's Pauli X gate eigenvalue becomes a relative phase on the control. This is the operational content of CNOT control reversal in the Hadamard basis; the computational basis control arrow alone does not determine every possible direction of communication.
