    Given two prime monotone boolean functions f:{0,1}n→{0,1}f:\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\} and g:{0,1}n→{0,1}g:\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\} the dualization problem consists in determining if gg is the dual of ff, that is if f(x1,…,xn)=g‾(x1‾,…xn‾)f(x_1, \dots, x_n)= \overline{g}(\overline{x_1}, \dots \overline{x_n}) for all (x1,…xn)∈{0,1}n(x_1, \dots x_n) \in \{0,1\}^n. Associated to the dualization problem there is the corresponding decision problem: given two monotone prime boolean functions ff and gg is gg the dual of ff? In this paper we present a quantum computing algorithm that solves the decision version of the dualization problem in polynomial time
