Description
This kind of supersedes #493 and provides an alternative, less intrusive version that properly handles ancillary qubits and marking qubits in existing registers as ancillaries.
It simply checks on the removal of a qubit from a
qreg
whether that qubit is marked as ancillary and correspondingly decrements the right qubit number counter.This has also been tested in QCEC to resolve the errors that were popping up over there.
