Here, we implement an iterative version of the order-finding algorithm 10,11 in which the control register contains only a single qubit, which is recycled n times using a sequence of measurement and ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team led by Prof. PAN Jianwei with the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has been successful in performing Shor's ...

If you want to factor a number, one way to do it is Shor’s algorithm. That’s a quantum algorithm and finds prime factors of integers. That’s interesting because prime factorization is a big deal of ...
