One of the main motivations for using ternary logic systems is the amount of information per circuit line is higher as compared to the corresponding binary logic representation, thereby leading to more compact circuit realizations. This is particularly attractive for quantum computing as qutrits are expensive resources and minimizing their number is one of the main objectives during synthesis. Therefore, ternary reversible logic synthesis has drawn significant attention among researchers. It deals with fundamental unit of information called qutrits that can exist in one of the three states |0>, |1> and |2>. Hence, the aim of this paper is to bridge the knowledge gap for the beginners in this domain than searching the entire space. Therefore, the present work discusses the basic concepts of ternary reversible logic and ternary reversible gates. The detailed discussion of the various ternary reversible logic synthesis will enable the beginners in this domain to understand the ternary reversible logic in a better way.
