1Productivity
If current hardware technology is used for factorization of large numbers, then the factorization can be performed, but it requires excessive hardware resources and significant time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical/computational factorization methods with a physical system based on quantum tunneling effects. The system uses a potential well structure where particles tunnel through energy barriers to naturally find factorization solutions, substituting computational mechanics with quantum mechanical processes that achieve factorization more efficiently
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental parameters of the factorization approach by using quantum tunneling probability as the search mechanism instead of classical computational algorithms. By adjusting potential well depth, barrier height, and particle energy levels, the system optimizes the factorization process to require fewer hardware resources while maintaining or improving factorization speed
2Productivity
If quantum computer hardware is used to implement polynomial time factorization, then factorization efficiency is improved, but hardware technology is still insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a simplified physical system that uses short-lived quantum tunneling events rather than requiring stable, long-term quantum computer hardware. The system uses transient particle states in potential wells that naturally decay and reset, allowing repeated factorization attempts without requiring highly reliable, maintainable quantum computer infrastructure
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the natural quantum tunneling phenomenon to automatically perform the factorization search without requiring complex control systems. The physical system self-regulates the search process through quantum mechanical principles, reducing the need for sophisticated hardware control and management infrastructure
