Abstract(in English) Of the developments in the area of quantum computing, the most dramatic was the demonstration by P. W. Shor in 1994 that the factoring problem and the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in finite fields can be solved in polynomial time. Now, we raise a natural question: can Shor's algorithm be directly applied to the ECDLP? In this paper, we show that Shor's algorithm can be applied to the ECDLP in a straightforward manner by explicitly describing Shor's algorithm for the ECDLP. Moreover, as well as the Shor's idea, we can use Kitaev's algorithm in order to solve the ECDLP in polynomial time. We finally consider the Kitaev's version for the ECDLP.
