In this work, we have developed an optical platform of proof-of-concept experiments for period finding. We present experimental and numerical observations that demonstrate prime factorization based on Shor’s Algorithm using laser light. Scalability is one of the major strengths inherent in this DMD (digital micromirror device) based technique. Although this classical approach cannot compete with the quantum algorithm in terms of efficiency. Quantum entanglement can potentially be used as aimed at speeding up prime factorization for classical computers.
