Shor proposed multiple similar algorithms for solving the factoring problem, the discrete logarithm problem, and the period-finding problem. "Shor's algorithm" usually refers to the factoring …

To hear the full-length story of the discovery of Shor’s Factoring Algorithm, as told by Professor Peter Shor himself, watch here on Qiskit’s YouTube, or to hear a shorter, animated version of …

Jul 26, 2025 · Shor’s Factorization Algorithm is proposed by Peter Shor. It suggests that quantum mechanics allows the factorization to be performed in polynomial time, rather than exponential …

Shor didn't describe his algorithm specifically in terms of phase estimation, but it is a natural and intuitive way to explain how it works. We'll begin by discussing an intermediate problem known …

This is a classically difficult problem, and hence forms the basis of some very well-known public-key cryptography schemes, such as RSA (see Exercise 10.12.1), but Shor’s algorithm offers a …

Shor’s algorithm is the first quantum algorithm that solves a real-world problem exponentially faster than the best-known classical algorithm. Its discovery motivated a lot of interest in …

Jul 1, 2022 · Shor's algorithm is perhaps the most famous of all quantum algorithms. First published in 1994, it is often credited with propelling the surge of interest in quantum …

Jul 4, 2025 · Discovered by Peter Shor in 1994, this groundbreaking quantum algorithm has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of computational limits and poses a significant, …

and Shor’s algorithm is one of the crown jewels of the field. We will learn how Shor’s Algorithm works, but first we must understand a problem called period

May 28, 2025 · Shor's Algorithm is considered a milestone in the history of mathematics and computer science. It demonstrates the power of quantum computing in solving complex …
