Abstract

We present fast and highly parallelized versions of Shor's algorithm. With a sizable quantum computer it would then be possible to factor numbers with millions of digits. The main algorithm presented here uses FFT-based fast integer multiplication. The quick reader can just read the introduction and the ``Results'' section.
