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 ...

(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 ...

Here, we implement an iterative version of the order-finding algorithm 10,11 in which the control register contains only a single qubit, which is recycled n times using a sequence of measurement and ...

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 molecules in a test tube to ...

When the Robert Redford film Sneakers hit theaters in 1992, most moviegoers had never heard of the Internet. They’d have guessed “World Wide Web” was a horror film involving spiders. And nobody knew ...

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 ...

A quantum calculation able to crack one of the most common forms of data encryption has been performed on a silicon chip for the first time. The study demonstrates that complex quantum circuits can be ...
