   What is Shor's algorithm?

   • Shor’s algorithm describes how a sufficiently large quantum computer could efficiently factorize extremely large numbers — a task that would take more than the age of the universe for the most powerful classical supercomputer to solve. Most data encryption schemes today rely on the difficulty of factorization to keep information secure.
