Here we present and numerically investigate a proposal for a compiled version of such an algorithm based on a quantum-wire network exploiting the potentialities of fully coherent electron transport assisted by the surface acoustic waves. Specifically, a non standard approach is used to implement, in a simple form, the quantum circuits of the modular exponentiation execution for the simplest instance of the Shor's algorithm, that is the factorization of $N$=15. The numerical procedure is based on a time-dependent solution of the multi-particle Schr\\\"odinger equation. The near-ideal algorithm performance and the large estimated fidelity indicate the efficiency of the protocol implemented, which also results to be almost unsensitive to small destabilizing effects during quantum computation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-12-17T10:48:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.67.Ac", "73.63.Nm" ], "keywords": [ "shors quantum algorithm", "semiconductor nanostructures", "coherent electron transport", "quantum computation", "shors factoring algorithm illustrates" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2011, "month": "Jan", "volume": 83, "number": 1, "pages": "012302" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvA..83a2302B" } } }
