Shor’s algorithm

Shor’s Algorithm, named after mathematician Peter Shor, is a quantum algorithm designed to efficiently factorize large composite numbers. It’s one of the most famous and impactful algorithms in quantum computing, as it provides an exponential speedup over the best-known classical algorithms for factoring.

Using parallelism, Shor’s algorithm can break RSA encryption by factoring large numbers into their prime factors. RSA’s security relies on the difficulty of factoring large numbers using classical computers.
