  1. Quantum AlgorithmsTowards quantum codebreaking Artur Ekert

  2. More general oracles Quantum oracles do not have to be of this form e.g. generalized controlled-U operation n qubits m qubits

  3. Phase estimation problem n qubits m qubits

  4. Phase estimation algorithm Suppose p is an n-bit number: Recall Quantum Fourier Transform:

  5. Phase estimation algorithm STEP 1: H n qubits m qubits Recall Quantum Fourier Transform:

  6. Phase estimation algorithm STEP 2: Apply the reverse of the Quantum Fourier Transform H Fny n qubits m qubits But what if p’ has more than n bits in its binary representation ?

  9. Order-finding problem PRELIMINARY DEFINITIONS: This is a group under multiplication mod N For example

  10. Order-finding problem PRELIMINARY DEFINITIONS: For example (period 6)

  11. Order-finding problem Order finding and factoring have the same complexity. Any efficient algorithm for one is convertible into an efficient algorithm for the other.
