SUMMARY

Deutsch's algorithm demonstrates a significant advantage over classical algorithms by utilizing quantum superposition and entanglement. Both algorithms require two particles, with Deutsch's algorithm employing two qubits processed by the FCNOT gate, while classical algorithms use two bits processed in parallel. This parallel processing allows Deutsch's algorithm to solve certain problems more efficiently than its classical counterpart, establishing its superiority in specific computational scenarios.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum computing principles, specifically qubits and superposition.
  • Familiarity with classical computing concepts, particularly bits and parallel processing.
  • Knowledge of quantum gates, especially the FCNOT gate and its function in quantum circuits.
  • Basic grasp of algorithmic complexity and performance comparison between classical and quantum algorithms.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implementation and applications of Deutsch's algorithm in quantum computing.
  • Explore the principles of quantum entanglement and its role in quantum algorithms.
  • Learn about other quantum algorithms that outperform classical counterparts, such as Grover's and Shor's algorithms.
  • Investigate the practical applications of quantum computing in solving real-world problems.

How the Deutsch's algorithm outperforms a classical algorithm?
In both algorithms we need two particles (two bits and two qubits). In the quantum case the two qubits are processed by the FCNOT gate simultaneously but it's equivalent to two classical "black boxes". So if we take two classical boxes the two bits are processed simultaneously too and the two algorithms are equivalent in power.

Why are you assuming putting a qubit in superposition into one blackbox is equivalent to two classical black boxes?
