As well as being incredibly fascinating, quantum mechanics is also set to revolutionize the fields of information theory and computation. There exist certain problems that could be solved using a ...
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 deal of ...
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 ...
Reusing old computer parts sounds like a terrible way to boost processing power, but it has enabled a quantum computer to set a new algorithmic record. Anthony Laing and colleagues at the University ...
Quantum factor: the Paul trap used by Monz and colleagues. (Courtesy: C Lackner/Quantum Optics and Spectroscopy Group, University of Innsbruck) A quantum computer made of five trapped ions has been ...
Classical computers struggle to crack modern encryption. Classical computers struggle to crack modern encryption. But quantum computers using Shor’s Algorithm make short work of RSA cryptography. Find ...
(Nanowerk News) A research team led by Prof. PAN Jianwei with the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has been successful in performing Shor's ...
Two groups have made laser based Quantum computers able to run Shor’s algorithm, which would let them break financial encryption. It would take about two qubits per bit of encryption. 1024 bit ...
