Quantum computers use a variety of quantum algorithms to solve problems. These algorithms are designed to take advantage of the unique properties of qubits, such as superposition and entanglement. Some common quantum algorithms include the Shor algorithm, the Grover algorithm, and the Simons algorithm.
The Shor algorithm is a quantum algorithm that can factor large numbers exponentially faster than any known classical algorithm. This has significant implications for cryptography, as it would allow for the breaking of many encryption algorithms currently in use.
Yeah its a big thing in the security business. Much of the current setup could be obselete with quantum.
