Every active branch consumes one permission, regardless of the outcome. No measurement is attempted at . Consequently,

On an execution initially at , the number of source attempts after ticks is exactly .

One fresh pointer qubit suffices per active attempt. Retaining its readout consumes one additional classical history bit. The matter qubit is returned; the pointer is destructively consumed. Spectator storage is separate. These are resource statements, not an energy model for the measurement apparatus.
