MResetZ

As explained in Quantum Programming in Depth

MResetZ is a Q# operation that measures a qubit in the computational basis, resets it to the zero state, and returns a Result.

MResetZ is a Q# operation that measures a qubit in the computational basis, resets it to |0⟩, and returns the measurement as a Result. section 4.1.3

Use MResetZ when reading qubits while restoring them to a known state:

  • Call MResetZ for each qubit in an array. section 4.1.3
  • Collect the returned Result values, which are Zero or One rather than ordinary numeric or Boolean values. section 4.1.3
  • Print or otherwise process the results as classical information after measurement. section 4.1.3

Reading and validating a basis state

Allocate qubits, prepare a computational-basis state with X gates, read them using MResetZ, convert Zero and One results into an integer, and validate the value with Fact. section 4.1.3

Listing 4.3 Q# code to measure all qubits and return the results
operation ReadInformation(qs : Qubit[]) : Result[] {
  mutable res = [];           #1
  for q in qs {
    set res += [MResetZ(q)];  #2
  }
  return res;
}

How Quantum Programming in Depth covers it

How deep it goes
Explains measurement, reset, Result handling, array processing, printing, and randomized validation, but not lower-level implementation internals.
Examples
Uses ReadInformation, basis-state preparation with X, integer reconstruction, Fact assertions, and randomized tests.
What it assumes
Assumes basic Q# operations, qubit arrays, computational-basis states, and classical control; distinguishes Result from numeric and Boolean types.
What you can do after
Apply it via Q# to read qubit arrays, print Result values, and validate computational-basis states.
How it connects
Connects computational-basis measurement with qubits, Result values, classical information, and Q# testing.
