Performs the identity operation (no-op) on an argument.
operation NoOp<'T> (input : 'T) : Unit is Adj + Ctl
Description
This operation takes a value of any type and does nothing to it.
This can be useful whenever an input of an operation type is expected,
but no action should be taken.
For instance, if a particular error correction syndrome indicates that
no error has occurred, NoOp<Qubit[]> may be the correct recovery
procedure.
Similarly, if an operation expects a state preparation procedure as
input, NoOp<Qubit[]> can be used to prepare the state
$\ket{0 \cdots 0}$.
Input
input : 'T
A value to be ignored.
Output : Unit
Type Parameters
'T
