Uncomputation
Uncomputation is a technique, used in reversible circuits, for cleaning up temporary side effects on ancilla bits so they can be re-used [1].
Uncomputation is important to quantum computing. Whether or not intermediate effects have been uncomputed affects how states interfere with each other when measuring results [2].
