abstract

A digital computer is generally believed to be an efficient universal computing device; that is, it is believed able to simulate any physical computing device with an increase in computation time of at most a polynomial factor. This may not be true when quantum mechanics is taken into consideration. This paper considers factoring integers and finding discrete logarithms, two problems which are generally thought to be hard on a classical computer and have been used as the basis of several proposed cryptosystems. Efficient randomized algorithms are given for these two problems on a hypothetical quantum computer. These algorithms take a number of steps polynomial in the input size, e.g., the number of digits of the integer to be factored.

The Heisenberg Representation of Quantum Computers

quant-ph · 1998-07-01 · accept · novelty 8.0

Quantum states for error correction are described by their stabilizer, a commuting group of tensor products of Pauli matrices, enabling analysis of a rich class of quantum effects short of full quantum computation.

Production of Magic States via $Z$ Bosons and Dark Photons

hep-ph · 2026-06-30 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Magic distributions are computed for EW processes (reproducing QED at low energy, new at high energy/Z resonance) and dark-sector scatterings, reaching maximal magic at mass ratios m_f/m_χ → 0 and → 1.83929.

Answer Partitions and Oracle Access Determine Quantum Query Complexity

quant-ph · 2026-05-12 · reject · novelty 4.0 · 3 refs

The abstract and full text of arXiv:2605.12675 describe different papers; the abstract's partition-query classification is absent from the v3 text, which is a clarificatory essay with a correct but routine which-path-interference appendix.
