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 encodingof a multiplier circuit into the architecture of ...

A collection of three worksheets on the following: Prime numbers and prime factorization. The exercises require to decide whether some given numbers are prime or not and reach some conclusions about ...
