Quantum algorithms are computational routines that exploit quantum mechanics to solve problems exponentially faster than the best classical algorithms. The quantum order finding algorithm is a key example---it is the subroutine that delivers the exponential speed-up in Shor's factoring algorithm. To date, the demand on quantum resources---qubits and logic gates---even for small instances, has meant that there have been only four experimental realisations. We demonstrate a scalable, iterative order finding algorithm that uses one third the number of qubits in a scalable way. Encoding in higher-dimensional states, we implement a two-photon compiled algorithm for which the algorithmic output exhibits structure that is sensitive to noise, in contrast to previous demonstrations. These results point to larger-scale implementations of Shor's algorithm by harnessing substantial but scalable resource reductions applicable to all physical architectures.
