An efficient quantum algorithm for the Moebius function

Abstract

We give an efficient quantum algorithm for the Moebius function μ(n) from the natural numbers to \-1,0,1\. The cost of the algorithm is asymptotically quadratic in n and does not require the computation of the prime factorization of n as an intermediate step.
