Understanding the Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm

It's pretty beautiful to see how quantum algorithms exploit the mathematical properties of uncertainty to solve a problem.

This is definitely a great intuitive way to think about how to approach problem solving in quantum computing.

So the algorithm basically exploits the mathematical properties of uncertainty and it takes advantage of how the Hadamard gate works when the relative phase is negative vs when it's positive.

Beautiful!
