Efficient Quantum Oracle for Solving Bilinear Diophantine Equations on Digital Quantum Computers
Abstract
We present a concrete oracle construction for bilinear Diophantine equations of the form , together with its application as a scalable, hardware-agnostic benchmark for digital quantum computers. The oracle can be used in a Grover search algorithm in two variants suitable for both noisy-intermediate scale quantum devices and early fault-tolerant quantum processors. Applied to integer factoring via a residue-class encoding, the circuit requires qubits or fewer to factor an -bit biprime ; for requiring as few as 7 qubits and 135 two-qubit gates compared to 19 qubits and 51,048 two-qubit gates for a qubit-efficient variant of Shor's algorithm. Large-scale simulations confirm a success probability approaching 100\% for 800 randomly selected biprimes with . The circuit family provides a scalable, deterministically convergent and easily verifiable benchmark in a range accessible to near term quantum hardware.
