Uncomputation is a concept in computer science that refers to the process of effectively "reversing" the computation of a function to retrieve the input from the output, or to erase the information stored during computations in an efficient manner. This idea is particularly relevant in quantum computing and the study of reversible computation, but it has implications in classical computing as well. In reversible computation, every step of the computation can be undone, leading to the possibility of uncomputing intermediate states.
