:Moreover, even assuming there is a consensus to include the code, it should be backed up by [[WP:reliable sources]]. I don't think code of this length written by yourself is appropriate for Wikipedia. Even for calculations the rule is "[[WP:No_original_research#Routine_calculations|only routine calculations]] (like adding numbers), so I don't think writing whole programs is ok without providing a source. --[[User:Qcomp|Qcomp]] ([[User talk:Qcomp|talk]]) 20:44, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

== algorithm or Procedure? ==
I'm having trouble calling the solution to the Deutsch-Josza problem an 'algorithm.' To me, it sounds more like a physical procedure. The problem it solves is not really a computational problem but rather a physical one—characterizing an oracle, which is even required to come in a specific physical form. If one widens the definition of algorithm to just a sequence of operations, almost everything can be called an algorithm.
