The Influence of Superpositional Wave Function Oscillations on Shor's Quantum Algorithm

Quantum Physics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We investigate the influence of superpositional wave function oscillations on the performance of Shor's quantum algorithm for factorization of integers. It is shown that the wave function oscillations can destroy the required quantum interference. This undesirable effect can be routinely eliminated using a resonant pulse implementation of quantum computation, but requires special analysis for non-resonant implementations.
