How do we know which half is the correct half when it comes to 600 digit numbers and with so many digits will other percentages start to creep in given the large number of permutations...?
The answer, Lucero said, is quantum cryptography. "It's not only harder to break, but it allows you to know if someone has been eavesdropping, or listening in on your transmission.
"It's not only harder to break, but it allows you to know if someone has been eavesdropping, or listening in on your transmission. Imagine someone wiretapping your phone, but now, every time that person tries to listen in on your conversation, the audio gets jumbled. With quantum cryptography, if someone tries to extract information, it changes the system, and both the transmitter and the receiver are aware of it."
How can it be right only 50% of the time ?
Isn't this a deterministic problem ?

If you can expect to get the right answer 50% of the time, it's trivial to just try both answers. If the system outputs more than two different answers, then it's trivial to pick the one that appears half the time.Its a big IF, suggest less habituation to narrow views. Who says you will get a small number of possible solutions either side of your 50% decision. As the digits go up & there is no reason to stay with a small number of 600, the solution series starts to look like a power spectra of a discontinuous waveform, not trivial.

That depends on who you ask for an opinion. At the moment the consensus is that quantum behaviour is inherently stochastic.
Eikka got into the habit of over-simplifying (yet again)
One wonders if it 'takes one to know one' etc.Eikka got into the habit of over-simplifying (yet again)And you think too much of yourself, yet again.

LOL, the quantum computer only gets the right answer half the time?
Heck, my success rate is better than that; and I'm math challenged.
As far as how will you know which answer is correct... you won't get two answers... you'll get many. One of them will be close to 50%, the others will be MUCH less, probably far less than 1%.This is mostly what I was trying to tell Eikka, you will get many possible solutions, the number will of course rise significantly as the number of digits increase and 600 will become a very low benchmark indeed as computational power increases whether quantum based or otherwise...
..starts to look like a power spectra of a discontinuous waveform, not trivial.Such spectra equivalent paradigm may be quite wide indeed with a very large number of terms.
With data storage and even ram at such relatively low prices, wouldn't running a program One time which just multiplies a matrix of 1 x (1-499 digits), 2 x (1-250 digits) etc, store results
Every number that never was a result is a prime,
Save all Factors of all other numbers in some easily searchable format.
Now you just query the table anytime you need to know factors instead of calculating for "a few tens of minutes" on a theoretical computer.
I am by no means a security expert so there must be something I'm missing here.
