    "abstract": "The scheme of Clauser and Dowling (Phys. Rev. A 53, 4587 (1996)) for\nfactoring $N$ by means of an N-slit interference experiment is translated into\nan experiment with a single Mach-Zehnder interferometer. With dispersive phase\nshifters the ratio of the coherence length to wavelength limits the numbers\nthat can be factored. A conservative estimate permits $N \\approx 10^7$. It is\nfurthermore shown, that sine and cosine Fourier coefficients of a real periodic\nfunction can be obtained with such an interferometer.",
