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 ...

Researchers report that they have designed and built a quantum computer from five atoms in an ion trap. The computer uses laser pulses to carry out Shor's algorithm on each atom, to correctly factor ...

Scott Aaronson, quantum computer expert, explains the most famous quantum computer algorithm using minimal math. 1. Find a property that is shared by all of possible answers which can be compared. For ...
