New Quantum Algorithm Factors Numbers With One Qubit... The catch: It would require the energy of a few medium-size stars.
The catch: It would require the energy of a few medium-size stars.
In the new work, researchers show how to factor an integer of any size with a single qubit and three components known as oscillators — readily available devices typically associated with other quantum technology, like optics systems. From left: Lukas Brenner, Libor Caha and Robert König, along with Xavier Coiteux-Roy (not pictured), devised a novel but impractical way to factor any integer with a single qubit. But they had only vague ideas, so the pair brought in their colleagues Libor Caha and Xavier Coiteux-Roy to design a quantum algorithm based on this system.
