| contents | We provide a high-level cost comparison between Regev's quantum algorithm with Ekerå-Gärtner's extensions on the one hand, and existing state-of-the-art quantum algorithms for factoring and computing discrete logarithms on the other. This when targeting cryptographically relevant problem instances, and when accounting for the space-saving optimizations of Ragavan and Vaikuntanathan that apply to Regev's algorithm, and optimizations such as windowing that apply to the existing algorithms.
Our conclusion is that Regev's algorithm without the space-saving optimizations may achieve a per-run advantage, but not an overall advantage, if non-computational quantum memory is cheap. Regev's algorithm with the space-saving optimizations does not achieve an advantage, since it uses more computational memory, whilst also performing more work, per run and overall, compared to the existing state-of-the-art algorithms. As such, further optimizations are required for it to achieve an advantage for cryptographically relevant problem instances. |
