The sequence of the prime numbers fulfils the criterion and the corresponding one-dimensional quantum potential is explicitly computed in a semi-classical approximation. The existence of such a potential implies that the primality testing can in principle be resolved by the sole use of physical laws.9 pages, 3 figuresCondensed MatterQuantum PhysicsThe Quantum Mechanical Potential for the Prime Numberstext
