Algoritmo de Shor

Abstract

This article explores the fascinating intersection between quantum mechanics and computing, two seemingly distinct fields that intertwine in a surprising symbiosis. By highlighting the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics such as superposition and entanglement, this study sheds light on their innovative application in quantum computing. In particular, we focus on Shor's algorithm, a landmark achievement in this emerging field. Shor's algorithm demonstrates the unique capability of quantum computing to solve problems that would be intractable for classical computers efficiently. We explore how the algorithm leverages quantum principles of superposition and entanglement to factor integers into their prime constituents exponentially faster than classical methods. Furthermore, we discuss the profound implications of this breakthrough, from cryptography to modeling complex systems. By highlighting the revolutionary potential of quantum computing, this article illuminates the promising future of a new era of computation where traditional boundaries are challenged and new frontiers are opened.
