• The solution of nonlinear Boolean equations in a binary field plays a crucial part in cryptanalysis and computational mathematics. To speed up the process of solving Boolean equations is an urgent task that needs to be addressed. In this paper, we propose a method for solving Boolean equations based on the Grover algorithm combined with preprocessing using classical algorithms, optimizing the quantum circuit for solving the equations, and implementing the automatic generation of quantum circuits. The method first converted Boolean equations into Boolean expressions to construct the oracle in the Grover algorithm. The quantum circuit was emulated based on the IBM Qiskit framework and then simulated the Grover algorithm on this basis. Finally, the solution of the Boolean equation was implemented. The experimental results proved the feasibility of using the Grover algorithm to solve nonlinear Boolean equations in a binary field, and the correct answer was successfully found under the conditions that the search space was 221 and three G iterations were used. The method in this paper increases the solving scale and solving speed of Boolean equations and enlarges the application area of the Grover algorithm.
