A quantum computer algorithm that is used to find the prime factors in an encryption key. Created by applied mathematician Peter Shor in the mid-1990s, Shor's algorithm may be used to break the codes ...
Initiative aims to publish a formally verified implementation of Shor’s quantum factoring algorithm with relevance to cryptography and other high-value domains ...
The basic mathematics of quantum mechanics will be reviewed for application to quantum computation. Classical physical computation (not with digital circuits) will be discussed, in particular ...
