Ising models minimizing a quadratic objective function with spin variables of either −1 or +1 are instrumental in tackling combinatorial optimization problems by programmable Quantum Annealers. This paper introduces unit Ising models, where non-zero coefficients are restricted to −1 or +1. Due to the limited resolution of quantum annealers, unit Ising models are more suitable for quantum annealers. A fixed unit Ising model for logic circuits could lead to Application-Specific Unit Quantum Annealers (ASUQAs) for inverse function computation, similar to ASICs. Our findings suggest a powerful new method for compromising the RSA cryptosystem by leveraging ASUQAs for factorization.
