This applies the in-place majority operation to 3 qubits.
operation MAJ (input0 : Qubit, input1 : Qubit, target : Qubit) : Unit is Adj + Ctl
Description
If we denote the state of the target qubit as $\ket{z}$, and input states of the input qubits as $\ket{x}$ and $\ket{y}$, then this operation performs the following transformation: $\ket{xyz} \rightarrow \ket{x \oplus z} \ket{y \oplus z} \ket{\operatorname{MAJ} (x, y, z)}$.
Input
input0 : Qubit
The first input qubit.
input1 : Qubit
The second input qubit.
target : Qubit
A qubit onto which the majority function will be applied.
Output : Unit
