摘要

In this paper, we focus on the links between Boolean function theory and quantum computing. In particular, we study the notion of what we call fully-balanced functions and analyse the Fourier–Hadamard and Walsh supports of those functions having such property. We study the Walsh and Fourier supports of other relevant classes of functions, using what we call balancing sets. This leads us to revisit and complete certain classic results and to propose new ones. We complete our study by extending the previous results to pseudo-Boolean functions (in relation to vectorial functions) and giving an insight on its applications in the analysis of the possibilities that a certain family of quantum algorithms can offer.
