dc.descriptionWe study effects of imperfections induced by residual couplings between qubits on the accuracy of Shor's algorithm using numerical simulations of realistic quantum computations with up to 30 qubits. The factoring of numbers up to N=943 show that the width of peaks, which frequencies allow to determine the factors, grow exponentially with the number of qubits. However, the algorithm remains operational up to a critical coupling strength $ε_c$ which drops only polynomially with $\log_2 N$. The numerical dependence of $ε_c$ on $\log_2 N$ is explained by analytical estimates that allows to obtain the scaling for functionality of Shor's algorithm on realistic quantum computers with a large number of qubits.
