Contributions summary:Vadym primarily contributed to the quantum computing libraries by implementing and modifying core components for conditional application of operations. Their work involved adding and refining variants of the `ApplyIf` combinator, which allows conditional application of operations based on the results of measurements or classical bits, and also adding a `Delay` combinator with a functional form. They also updated existing code, including refactoring documentation comments and fixing a typo. The contributions are focused on enhancing the quantum library's functionality and usability.
