Distribution of controlled unitary quantum gates towards factoring large numbers on today’s small-register devices

Abstract Factoring a 2048-bit number using Shor’s algorithm, when accounting for error correction, reportedly requires 400,000 qubits. However, it is well known that there is yet much time before we will have this many qubits in the same local system. This is why we propose a protocol for distribute...
