Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with a VIC-20, an Abacus, and a Dog
This paper presents implementations that match and, where possible, exceed current quantum factorisation records using a VIC-20 8-bit home computer from 1981, an abacus, and a dog. We hope that this work will inspire future efforts to match any further quantum factorisation records, should they arise.
Abstract This paper presents implementations that match and, where possible, exceed current quantum factorisation records using a VIC-20 8-bit home computer from 1981, an abacus, and a dog. We hope that this work will inspire future efforts to match any further quantum factorisation records, should they arise. Note:(Minor revisions made to the original to correct a typo, clarify the use of sqrt(n) for factorisation, and add email addresses).
