Abstract
It has been proved that almost all -bit Boolean functions have exact classical query complexity . However, the situation seemed to be very different when we deal with exact quantum query complexity. In this paper, we prove that almost all -bit Boolean functions can be computed by an exact quantum algorithm with less than queries. More exactly, we prove that is the only -bit Boolean function, up to isomorphism, that requires queries.
