Description

In this paper, we propose a novel quantum learning algorithm, based on Younes' quantum circuit, to find dependent variables of the Boolean function f:{0,1}n{0,1} with one uncomplemented product of two variables. Typically, in the worst-case scenario, two dependent variables are found by evaluating the function O(n) times. However, our proposed quantum algorithm only requires O(log2n) function operations in the worst-case. Additionally, we evaluate the average number to perform the function. In the average case, our algorithm requires O(1) function operations.
