Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization and Discrete Logarithms on a Quantum Computer

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered factoring integers and finding discrete logarithms on a quantum computer and gave an efficient randomized algorithm for these two problems, which takes a number of steps polynomial in the input size of the integer to be factored.
