QSF leverages group theory and modular arithmetic principles, enhanced by the Symmetric Decomposition Method (SDM). This novel approach focuses on symmetry-based patterns within modular systems, enabling rapid elimination of non-factors and identification of high-probability candidates. By combining classical and quantum frameworks, SDM replaces traditional GCD operations, offering scalable and efficient solutions for integer factorization.
This repository presents the Quantum Symmetry Factorization (QSF) algorithm, an advanced integer factorization technique leveraging quantum-inspired symmetry detection. QSF enhances traditional factorization methods by significantly reducing the trial count, making it ideal for cryptographic applications such as RSA encryption.
The QSF algorithm introduces a unique approach that combines group-theoretic principles with modular arithmetic properties, enabling efficient factorization of large integers by using symmetry extraction and adaptive error correction. This repository contains all necessary files, code, and documentation to explore, implement, and test the QSF algorithm.

QSF introduces an efficient approach to integer factorization by applying symmetry detection within modular arithmetic. This process narrows down the factor search space by focusing on patterns (symmetries) that reduce unnecessary trials. Unlike brute-force methods, which may require up to ( N - 1 ) trials for an integer ( N ), QSF reduces this number to approximately ( N / 2 ) by skipping over numbers that are unlikely to be factors.
Key components:
- Symmetry Extraction: Recognizes repeating patterns in modular arithmetic to streamline factor checks.
- Adaptive Techniques: Adjusts factor-checking dynamically to further reduce the trial space.
- Error Correction: Employs quantum-inspired error correction methods to ensure accuracy, even in noisy calculations.
The core approach combines quantum symmetry extraction with modular arithmetic, leveraging:
- Group Theory: For efficient structure analysis.
- Quantum-Inspired Symmetry: Detects symmetry patterns that indicate potential factor pairs.
- Pattern Detection: Reduces trials needed to identify factors.
QSF is based on advanced modular arithmetic and group-theoretic principles. The algorithm’s key mathematical techniques include:
-
Symmetry Extraction:
- QSF identifies symmetries in the modular space, allowing it to "jump" over non-factors and focus on numbers aligned with ( N )’s structural properties.
-
Modular Arithmetic Properties:
- QSF uses modular reductions to streamline potential factors.
-
Group Theory:
- Recognizes periodic properties within the integer group structures, which helps reduce trial computations by clustering potential factors.
To factorize ( N = 77 ):
- Classical brute-force requires up to ( √77 approx 8.7 ) trials.
- QSF symmetry detection allows us to focus on numbers like 7 and 11 faster, finding the factors more efficiently.
