def cancel_zero_controls(qc: QuantumCircuit) -> QuantumCircuit:
    r"""Cancel controlled gates whose control qubit is guaranteed to be \|0⟩.

    Every qubit starts in \|0⟩ (and re-enters \|0⟩ after ``qb_alloc``).  A
    controlled gate conditioned on \|1⟩ acting on such a qubit is a no-op.
    For symmetric controlled-phase gates (CP, CZ) the gate is a no-op if
    *either* qubit is \|0⟩.

    This is particularly effective on QFT-style circuits, where many
    controlled-phase gates act on qubits that have not yet been touched.

    Parameters
    ----------
    qc : QuantumCircuit
        The input circuit.

    Returns
    -------
    QuantumCircuit
        A new circuit with redundant controlled gates removed.

    Examples
    --------
    Cancel a CX whose control qubit is still in \|0⟩::

        >>> from qrisp import QuantumCircuit, PassManager
        >>> from qrisp import cancel_zero_controls
        >>> qc = QuantumCircuit(2)
        >>> qc.cx(0, 1)  # Qubit 0 starts in \|0⟩ — the CX is a no-op
        >>> qc.h(1)       # Now qubit 1 is marked as used
        >>> print(qc)
