| contents | Factoring integers is considered as a computationally-hard problem for classical methods, whereas there exists polynomial-time Shor's quantum algorithm for solving this task. However, requirements for running the Shor's algorithm for realistic tasks, which are beyond the capabilities of existing and upcoming generations of quantum computing devices, motivates to search for alternative approaches. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate factoring of the integer with a trapped ion quantum processor using the Schnorr approach and a modified version of quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA). The key difference of our approach in comparison with the recently proposed QAOA-based factoring method is the use of the fixed-point feature, which relies on the use of universal parameters. We present experimental results on factoring $1591=37\times43$ using 6 qubits as well as simulation results for $74425657=9521\times7817$ with 10 qubits and $35183361263263=4194191\times8388593$ with 15 qubits. Alongside, we present all the necessary details for reproducing our results and analysis of the performance of the factoring method, the scalability of this approach both in classical and quantum domain still requires further studies. |
