This is a Java program, that decomposes a number N into two prime numbers p and q using a classical variant of Shor's algorithm (period finding approach).

Performance

Now it is working deterministically (checking all a's) and takes for a 31 bit N around 15 minutes on my 4x2.00GHz processor. For smaller numbers, the runtime decreases drastically!
If you want to make it faster, you can cheat (at least in the language of Quantum Computers) and set maxPeriode=2;

How to run

Download and compile with javac. Precompiled jar's might be added later.

TODO

• Make p=q; N=p^2 work!
• Use BigInteger for p, q and N (so that we can factor larger N's than 32bit!)
• Allow inputs
• Set conditions for failing cases (N can not be factorized in only two prime factors)
• Better Documentation
• Make a nice UI
