Abstract

We provide two sufficient and necessary conditions to characterize any nn-bit partial Boolean function with exact quantum 1-query complexity. Using the first characterization, we present all nn-bit partial Boolean functions that depend on nn bits and have exact quantum 1-query complexity. Due to the second characterization, we construct a function FF that maps any nn-bit partial Boolean function to some integer, and if an nn-bit partial Boolean function ff depends on kk bits and has exact quantum 1-query complexity, then F(f)F(f) is non-positive. In addition, we show that the number of all nn-bit partial Boolean functions that depend on kk bits and have exact quantum 1-query complexity is not bigger than n222n1(1+22k)+2n2n^{2}2^{2^{n-1}(1+2^{2-k})+2n^{2}} for all n3n\geq 3 and k2k\geq 2.
