Wave Packets can Factorize Numbers

Quantum Physics 2015-06-26 v2

Abstract

We draw attention to various aspects of number theory emerging in the time evolution of elementary quantum systems with quadratic phases. Such model systems can be realized in actual experiments. Our analysis paves the way to a new, promising and effective method to factorize numbers.
