P. Shor proposed a polynomial time algorithm for prime factorization on quantum computers. For a given number N, he gave an algorithm for finding the order r of an element x in the multiplicative group (mod N). The method succeeds because factorization can be reduced to finding the order of an element using randomization. But the algorithm has two shortcomings, the order of the number must be even...
