Abstract

We present a concrete oracle construction for bilinear Diophantine equations of the form f(x,y)=Axy+Bx+Cy+Df(x,y) = Axy + Bx + Cy + D, 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 2n52n-5 qubits or fewer to factor an nn-bit biprime N=pqN = pq; for N=143N = 143 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 5n355 \leq n \leq 35. The circuit family provides a scalable, deterministically convergent and easily verifiable benchmark in a range accessible to near term quantum hardware.
