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