Quantum annealers and the future of prime factorization

[Ruy de Queiroz]

“Beyond factorization

Prof. Sebastiani emphasized the potential to extend the use of these devices beyond prime factorization, envisioning applications in encoding and checking the satisfiability of various circuits.

"We believe that quantum annealers can be used to encode and check the satisfiability of many other circuits of interest. Thus addressing the propositional satisfiability of Boolean circuits (SAT)—a far more general problem than prime factorization and allows for representing a variety of real-world problems," shared Prof. Sebastiani.”
