Factoring integers by translating the problem directly into a satisfiability (SAT) instance or any equivalent NP-hard problem does not appear to be efficient, even when quantum solvers are assumed to ...
The phenomenal success of our integrated circuits managed to obscure an awkward fact: they’re not always the best way to solve problems. The features of modern computers—binary operations, separated ...
In this work we focus on the problem of factoring semi-primes with SAT-solvers. A semi-prime N is a composite of two primes p and q which are roughly of equal size. These particular composites are ...
