Who needs qubits? Factoring algorithm run on a probabilistic computer It shares some features with quantum annealers, but it's easier to build and operate.

A quantum computer made of five trapped ions has been used by physicists in Austria and the US to implement Shor’s factoring algorithm. While the system performed the trivial task of factoring the ...

One of the key explanations of why this is the case is Shor’s factoring algorithm, which was formulated by the US mathematician Peter Shor in 1994. In this short video, Shor introduces his eponymous ...

"If you start factoring 10-digit numbers then it's going to start getting scary" MIT's Peter Shor explains why he devised an algorithm for a quantum computer that could unravel our online data ...

This obviously would render all prime-factor based cryptography algorithms obsolete. I have warned the FBI about this for a while, however; what everyone wanted from me was an algorithm that does ...

Shor’s algorithm will enable future quantum computers to factor large numbers quickly, undermining many online security protocols. Now a researcher has shown how to do it even faster.

It lies at the heart of quantum computing and is a key sub-routine of many other important quantum algorithms, such as Shor's factoring algorithm and quantum simulations.

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