In 1994, Peter Shor realized that a quantum computer could be much more efficient at factoring large numbers than a conventional computer. Shor’s factoring algorithm begins by using mathematics to ...

Peter Shor, a computer scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explains why he devised an algorithm for a quantum computer that could unravel our online data encryption.

Arxiv – Pretending to factor large numbers on a quantum computer – Shor’s algorithm for factoring in polynomial time on a quantum computer gives an enormous advantage over all known classical ...

If you want to factor a number, one way to do it is Shor’s algorithm. That’s a quantum algorithm and finds prime factors of integers. That’s interesting because prime factorization is a big ...

Main Shor's factoring algorithm consists of a quantum order-finding algorithm, preceded and succeeded by various classical routines.
