Shor’s Algorithm was proposed by the American mathematician Peter Shor in 1994, and it promises prime factorization of numbers in polynomial time. This might seem like an easy problem, at first. After all, we learned the procedure for representing a number as a product of its prime factors in secondary school. Following the same process, we know ...
