DeutschJozsa
class DeutschJozsa(oracle, quantum_instance=None)
The Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm.
The Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm was one of the first known quantum algorithms that showed an exponential speedup compared to a deterministic (non-probabilistic) classical algorithm, given a black box oracle function. The algorithm determines whether the given function is constant or balanced. A constant function maps all inputs to 0 or 1, and a balanced function maps half of its inputs to 0 and the other half to 1.
Note: the TruthTableOracle facilitates creating a constant or balanced function but any oracle can be used as long as the boolean function implemented by the oracle indeed satisfies the constraint of being either constant or balanced.
