Based on Miller’s randomization, he then gave a factorization algorithm. But the algorithm has two shortcomings, the order must be even and the output might be a trivial factor. Actually, these drawbacks can be overcome if the number is an RSA modulus. Applying the special structure of the RSA modulus, an algorithm is presented to overcome the two shortcomings. The new algorithm improves Shor’s algorithm for factoring RSA modulus. The cost of the factorization algorithm almost depends on the calculation of the order of 2 in the multiplication group.展开更多

Non-binary quantum computing is an efficient way to reduce the required number of elemental gates. Here, we propose optimization schemes for Shor＇s algorithm implementation and take a ternary version for factorizing 21 as an example. The optimized factorization is achieved by a two-qutrit quantum circuit, which consists of only two single qutrit gates and one ternary controlled-NOT gate. This two-qutrit quantum circuit is then encoded into the nine lower vibrational states of an ion trapped in a weakly anharmonic potential. Optimal control theory（OCT） is employed to derive the manipulation electric field for transferring the encoded states. The ternary Shor＇s algorithm can be implemented in one single step. Numerical simulation results show that the accuracy of the state transformations is about 0.9919.展开更多
