What is the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm?

The Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm is a quantum algorithm that solves the Deutsch-Jozsa problem, which is a problem in computer science and mathematics. The algorithm determines whether a given function is constant or balanced, meaning it returns the same output for all inputs or half of the inputs respectively. It uses quantum parallelism and interference to provide a quadratic speedup compared to classical algorithms.
