Factoring very large numbers into their prime "building blocks" is extremely difficult for classical computers, and this difficulty underlies the security of many cryptographic algorithms. While it's ...

This paper investigates novel techniques to solve prime factorization by quantum annealing (QA). First, we present a very-compact modular encoding of a multiplier circuit into the architecture of ...

Large-scale datasets are commonplace throughout many modern scientific disciplines, such as personalized medicine, biology, space research, or climate research. Oftentimes, the underlying fundamental ...

Scientists have discovered a way to leverage emerging brain-like computer architectures for an age-old number-theoretic problem known as integer factorization. U.S. Army Research Laboratory scientists ...

There are two types of quantum computers: universal quantum computers and dedicated ones, the state-of-the-art one of which is the commercial quantum computer developed by D-Wave Quantum Computing ...
