Yes I think you will need to add some nodes to calculate intermediate results. It doesn't look as though there is a unary NOT node so you will need to implement NOT C as C NAND C.Agrippa said:

A Fredkin gate, also known as a controlled-SWAP gate, is a logic gate in quantum computing that swaps the values of two qubits based on the value of a third qubit. It is a reversible gate and is often used in quantum circuitry for implementing various algorithms.
The Fredkin gate has been shown to have potential uses in classical computing, such as in reversible computing and certain types of error correction. It can also be used in designing classical logic circuits with lower power consumption and smaller size.
A Fredkin gate takes in three input bits (A, B, and C) and outputs three bits (A, B, and AB ⊕ C). The gate swaps the values of bits A and B if the value of bit C is 1, and leaves them unchanged if C is 0. The value of bit AB ⊕ C is then determined by the exclusive OR (XOR) operation between A and B, with the result being stored in bit C.
Yes, a Fredkin gate can be implemented in a classical network using classical logic gates such as AND, OR, and NOT gates. However, this implementation would not be reversible, unlike in quantum computing where the Fredkin gate is inherently reversible.
One limitation of implementing a Fredkin gate in a classical network is that the input bits must be classical bits, meaning they can only have a value of either 0 or 1. In contrast, in quantum computing, qubits can have a superposition of both 0 and 1, allowing for more complex operations with the Fredkin gate. Additionally, the classical implementation of the Fredkin gate may require more logic gates and thus more resources compared to its quantum counterpart.
