Part 5/7:
- Quantum Circuit Construction: The circuit employs a series of Hadamard gates to superimpose states, followed by applying the function as a unitary operation. Ultimately, this results in a measurable output indicating whether the function is constant.
Bernstein-Vazirani Algorithm
The Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm generalizes Deutsch's approach, allowing the identification of an unknown string ( s ) efficiently via querying the function just once. It highlights quantum advantage in solving periodic problems efficiently.
Shor's Algorithm
Arguably the most significant algorithm in the realm of quantum computing is Shor’s algorithm, which facilitates polynomial-time factoring of large integers—an essential capability for breaking widely used encryption methods like RSA.
