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.

Quantum Information with Continuous Variables

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm for continuous variables, and a deterministic version of it is used for quantum information processing with continuous variables.

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

Peter W. Shor
- 01 Jun 1999 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered factoring integers and finding discrete logarithms, two problems that are generally thought to be hard on classical computers and that have been used as the basis of several proposed cryptosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum algorithm for linear systems of equations.

TL;DR: This work exhibits a quantum algorithm for estimating x(-->)(dagger) Mx(-->) whose runtime is a polynomial of log(N) and kappa, and proves that any classical algorithm for this problem generically requires exponentially more time than this quantum algorithm.

Simulating physics with computers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the possibility of simulating physics in the classical approximation, a thing which is usually described by local differential equations, and the possibility that there is to be an exact simulation, that the computer will do exactly the same as nature.

Algorithms for quantum computation: discrete logarithms and factoring

TL;DR: Las Vegas algorithms for finding discrete logarithms and factoring integers on a quantum computer that take a number of steps which is polynomial in the input size, e.g., the number of digits of the integer to be factored are given.

The Monte Carlo method.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a statistical approach to the study of integro-differential equations that occur in various branches of the natural sciences, such as biology and chemistry.

Quantum theory, the Church-Turing principle and the universal quantum computer

TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that underlying the Church-Turing hypothesis there is an implicit physical assertion: every finitely realizable physical system can be perfectly simulated by a universal model computing machine operating by finite means.
