Large numbers can only be factorized with a great deal of computational effort. Physicists are now providing a blueprint for a new type of quantum computer to solve the factorization problem ...

Dwave is focused on optimization problems, however the system can be used to solve other problems including factoring. In November 2014, it was discovered that this 2012 adiabatic quantum computation ...

The generic form of the gap functions for all the factorization problems allow an iterative process for finding the optimal parameters. AQC has the potential to be not only faster than the classical ...

The theoretical analysis and computational implementation of factorization-based methods for the numerical solution of linear boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations are presented.

As neuromorphic architectures continue to increase in size and speed, not limited by Moore's Law, their ability to tackle larger integer factorization problems also grows.

In one of the most hilarious papers we have read this year, two scientists challenged some famous quantum factorization ...
