چکیده

Abstract: Let N be a positive integer, let b < N be a positive integer relatively prime to N , and let r be the order of b modulo N . Finally, let QC be a quantum computer whose input register has the size specified in Shor’s original description of his order-finding algorithm. We prove that when Shor’s algorithm is implemented on QC, then the probability P of obtaining a (nontrivial) divisor of r exceeds .7 whenever N ≥ 211 and r ≥ 40, and we establish that .7736 is an asymptotic lower bound for P . When N is not a power of an odd prime, Gerjuoy has shown that P exceeds 90 percent for N and r sufficiently large. We give easily checked conditions on N and r for this 90 percent threshold to hold, and we establish an asymptotic lower bound for P of 2Si(4π)/π ≈ .9499 in this situation. More generally, for any nonnegative integer q, we show that when QC(q) is a quantum computer whose input register has q more qubits than does QC, and Shor’s algorithm is run on QC(q), then an asymptotic lower bound on P is 2Si(2q+2π)/π (if N is not a power of an odd prime). Our arguments are elementary and our lower bounds on P are carefully justified.

P.W.Shor proposed the algorithm to solve the factorization into prime factors within polynomial time by using the quantum computer [1, 2]. See also [5], on the recent advances of the Shor’s factoring algorithm. In his paper, the number of the computational steps was estimated. Through this paper, we consider the case that we factorize n into finite prime numbers pi, (i = 1, · · · , k). We deriv...

The admissibility condition of a mother wavelet is explored in the context of quantum optics theory. By virtue of Dirac’s representation theory and the coherent state’ property we derive a general formula for finding Mexican hat wavelets.

We give a new “nested adds” circuit for implementing Shor’s algorithm in linear width and quadratic depth on a nearest-neighbor machine. Our circuit combines Draper’s transform adder with approximation ideas of Zalka. The transform adder requires small controlled rotations. We also give another version, with slightly larger depth, using only reversible classical gates. We do not know which vers...

We present a new method for finding isolated exact solutions of a class of non-adiabatic Hamil-tonians of relevance to quantum optics and allied areas. Central to our approach is the use of Bogoliubov transformations of the bosonic fields in the models. We demonstrate the simplicity and efficiency of this method by applying it to the Rabi Hamiltonian.
