In this paper, we have proposed a novel design reversible logic based Configurable Fault-Tolerant Embryonic Hardware. We have re-investigated the concept of Self-healing for hardware systems in the context of reversible logic and circuits. Embryonic electronics have been inspired by embryonic development of living cells (biological organisms). Successful adoption and transformation of significant features of this biological challenge into digital systems enabled us for self-replication and self-repair techniques in integrated circuits to some extent. We have analyzed the area overhead and scalability complexity for the existing self-healing approach in the context of quantum computation. As digital logic operations are mostly irreversible, any n-bit FAN-IN information is erased at FAN-OUT output ports.
