All of quantum computing is reversible by nature (until you measure the state, of course). Yet, there'some research in the field focusing on irreversible ("non-unitary") quantum algorithms and it appears there is some advantage in throwing away, algorithmically speaking, the reversibility. See https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.16596

It's interesting that classical and quantum computing researchers are each looking in the direction of the other field.
