Yosi Avron (Technion) | Shor in Shorts |

Abstract:

I shall give an elementary introduction to the Peter Shor algorithm for factoring. Quantum magic allows one to find the period of a periodic function, a hard problem, efficiently. This efficiency comes from the exponential gain offered by the quantum Fourier transform compared with the fast Fourier transform.
