Shor’s quantum algorithm using electrons in semiconductor nanostructures
2011
Shor's factoring algorithm illustrates the potential power of quantum computation. Here we present and numerically investigate a proposal for a compiled version of such an algorithm based on a quantum-wire network exploiting the potentialities of fully coherent electron transport assisted by the surface acoustic waves. Specifically, a non standard approach is used to implement, in a simple form, the quantum circuits of the modular exponentiation execution for the simplest instance of the Shor's algorithm, that is the factorization of $N$=15. The numerical procedure is based on a time-dependent solution of the multi-particle Schr\"odinger equation. The near-ideal algorithm performance and the large estimated fidelity indicate the efficiency of the protocol implemented, which also results to be almost unsensitive to small destabilizing effects during quantum computation.
