Quantum-inspired computing: comparsion of variants of Shor’s algorithm

This study explores the theme of quantum-inspired computing, specifically the different variations of Shor’s algorithm. The focus of this article is on leveraging quantum computing’s approach to explore new ways to solve complex problems more efficiently than classical methods. Using the Microsoft Azure Quantum SDK, we have simulated variant of Shor’s algorithm to investigate its effectiveness in solving complex problems more efficiently than traditional methods. Although variant has demonstrated good potential for translating quantum principles to classical algorithms, it is not practical in terms of efficiency or scalability. It is relatively slow, highlighting its limitations in application. Nevertheless, it offers a valuable example of quantum-inspired algorithm design by reducing quantum complexity and introducing novel classical approaches.
