We try to minimize the number of qubits needed to factor an integer of n bits using Shor's algorithm on a quantum computer. We introduce a circuit which uses 2n+3 qubits and O(n^3 lg(n)) elementary quantum gates in a depth of O(n^3) to…

Many known models, which generally use a factorization hypothesis, give a poor account of the decays B into J/psi + K(*). Usually there is a free overall factor, which is fit to the data, so that tests of the models rely upon ratios. The…
