Factorization of numbers with Gauss sums: I. Mathematical background

Published 24 Oct 2012 in quant-ph | (1210.6474v1)

Abstract: We use the periodicity properties of generalized Gauss sums to factor numbers. Moreover, we derive rules for finding the factors and illustrate this factorization scheme for various examples. This algorithm relies solely on interference and scales exponentially.
