For the known bit string $y$, define the Pauli gate product $T_y={⨂}_{j=0}^{N-1}{Z}_j^{y_j}$. Its diagonal action is $T_y|x⟩=(-1{)}^{x\cdot y}|x⟩$, where the binary inner product is taken modulo two. The Hadamard transform produces $|{\varphi }_y⟩=H^{\otimes N}|y⟩=T_y|\varphi ⟩$. Thus the required vectors for Grover search with a nonzero reflection label areThey remain orthonormal and $|{\varphi }_y⟩=\sin \theta |{\tilde{\Psi }}_g⟩+\cos \theta |{\tilde{\Psi }}_b⟩$. The new iterate is $G_y=(2|{\varphi }_y⟩⟨{\varphi }_y|-I)U_f$. Since $T_y$ commutes with the diagonal marked-state phase oracle and $T_y^2=I$,Consequently its matrix on the signed basis is exactly the rotation matrix in part (a), proving the claimed equivalence of the two evolutions.

Prepare $2^{-n/2}{\sum }_x|x⟩|0^n⟩$, query the oracle, and measure or discard the output register. For $p\ne 0$, the input register becomes the coset stateApply $H^{\otimes n}$, the quantum Fourier transform over $({\mathbb{Z}}_2{)}^n$. The two amplitudes interfere destructively unless the binary inner product satisfiesand every vector in this orthogonal subspace is sampled uniformly. Repeat until $n-1$ independent equations have been collected, then use Gaussian elimination over ${\mathbb{F}}_2$ to find their one-dimensional null space; its nonzero vector is $p$. This is Simon's algorithm. It uses $O(n)$ oracle queries with high probability and polynomial classical work. When $p=0^n$, the function is injective and the samples eventually span all of $({\mathbb{F}}_2{)}^n$, which distinguishes that case with arbitrarily high probability.
