==History== The Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm generalizes earlier (1985) work by David Deutsch, which provided a solution for the simple case where <math> n = 1 </math>. <br />Specifically, finding out if a given [[Boolean function]] whose input is one bit, <math>f: \{0,1\} \to \{0,1\}</math>, is constant.<ref name="Deu85"> {{cite journal |author = David Deutsch |author-link = David Deutsch |title = Quantum Theory, the Church-Turing Principle and the Universal Quantum Computer |journal = Proceedings of the Royal Society of London A |volume = 400 |issue = 1818 |pages = 97–117 |year = 1985 |bibcode = 1985RSPSA.400...97D | doi = 10.1098/rspa.1985.0070 | citeseerx = 10.1.1.41.2382 |s2cid = 1438116 }} </ref> The algorithm, as Deutsch had originally proposed it, was not deterministic. The algorithm was successful with a probability of one half. In 1992, Deutsch and Jozsa produced a deterministic algorithm which was generalized to a function which takes <math>n</math> bits for its input. Unlike Deutsch's algorithm, this algorithm required two function evaluations instead of only one. Further improvements to the Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm were made by Cleve et al.,<ref name="CEMM98" /> resulting in an algorithm that is both deterministic and requires only a single query of <math>f</math>. This algorithm is still referred to as Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm in honour of the groundbreaking techniques they employed.<ref name="CEMM98" />
