Abstract
We report a proof-of-principle demonstration of Shor’s algorithm with
photons generated by an on-demand semiconductor quantum dot
single-photon source for the first time. A fully compiled version of
Shor’s algorithm for factoring 15 has been accomplished with a
significantly reduced resource requirement that employs the four-photon
cluster state. Genuine multiparticle entanglement properties are
confirmed to reveal the quantum character of the algorithm and circuit.
The implementation realizes the Shor’s algorithm with deterministic
photonic qubits, which opens new applications for cluster state beyond
one-way quantum computing.
