For a two-variable Boolean quantum oracle, quantum phase kickback produces the phase (−1)axy+bx+cy+d on ∣xy⟩. If the quadratic coefficient a is known, apply the Controlled-Z gate to the power a: its phase (−1)axy cancels the quadratic term. A Walsh-Hadamard transform then maps the remaining phase state to (−1)d∣bc⟩. The constant term is only a global phase, and both linear coefficients are read in one quantum measurement in the computational basis.
