Finding the square root modulo n, when the factors of n are known
I see my mistake now. I interpreted the paper by Manders and Adelman wrong. I thought that the theorem in their paper implied that finding a square root is NP-complete, but this not true.

Finding the square root modulo n, when the factors of n are known
Last month, I asked whether there is an efficient algorithm for finding the square root modulo a prime power here: Is there an efficient algorithm for finding a square root modulo a prime power?
Now, …

Discrete log problem modified
Suppose one is given an odd prime $p$, a generator $g$ of $(\mathbb Z/p \mathbb Z)^*$ and two integers $a$ and $b$. Is there an efficient method to determine whether $\log_g a < \log_g b$? (Here we ar …

On mathematical arguments against Quantum computing
I wrote a paper "Why do we live in a quantum world" that assumes that "Quantum mechanics is just an approximation to some deeper theory", which is number 8 in Scott Aaronson's list of eleven objection …

Can Shor's Algorithm be modified to run efficiently on a classical computer?
Shor's algorithm is an algorithm which factors integers in polynomial time on a quantum computer. If one tries to run it on a classical computer, one runs into the problem that the state vector that i …
