SAN JOSE, Calif., -- Scientists at IBM's Almaden Research Center have performed the world's most complicated quantum-computer calculation to date. They caused a billion billion custom-designed ...
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 ...
In 1994, Peter Shor, an American mathematician working at Bell Labs, published a paper with a wonky title and earth-shaking implications. In “Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization and ...
CAMBRIDGE, MA — The most recent email you sent was likely encrypted using a tried-and-true method that relies on the idea that even the fastest computer would be unable to efficiently break a gigantic ...
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 ...
Long before scientists were talking much about it, Robert Redford fans learned about the power of quantum computers. It was 1992. A goofy movie called Sneakers warned about the dangers of computers ...
