141 qubit 1 the leftmost, and qubit 4 is the rightmost. By virtue of the soundness of R and Proposition 10, if D P can be rewritten to a circuit-like diagram without any conditional operations, then the rewrite sequence constitutes a proof that the pattern computes the same operation as applications to QC models the derived circuit. Example 19. Returning to the CNOT pattern of Example 18, there is a rewrite Translating measurement based quantum computations sequence, the key steps of which are shown below, which reduces the D P to to thecircuits unconditional without circuit-like additional pattern for CNOT resources: introduced in Example 7. This proves two things: firstly that P indeed computes the CNOT unitary, and that the pattern P is deterministic.
