Shor’s Algorithm Explained: How Quantum Computing Breaks RSA
Shor’s Algorithm is one of the most celebrated quantum algorithms in theoretical computer science — and for good reason. It provides an exponential speedup for integer factorization, directly threatening the widely used RSA encryption scheme. In this deep technical dive, we’ll explore exactly how Shor’s Algorithm works, why it’s efficient on a quantum computer, and what makes this possible (yes, the Quantum Fourier Transform plays a central role).
