In our latest update, we have introduced two new algorithms: Shor’s algorithm and the HHL algorithm.
Features¶
Shor’s algorithm , pioneered by mathematician Peter Shor, is a quantum algorithm that revolutionizes the field of number theory by efficiently factoring large numbers. This breakthrough has profound implications for cryptography, as it challenges the security of widely-used encryption schemes relying on the difficulty of factoring large numbers.
The HHL (Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd) algorithm , spearheaded by researchers Aram Harrow, Avinatan Hassidim, and Seth Lloyd, is a quantum algorithm designed to solve linear systems of equations. This algorithm offers a quadratic speedup over the best-known classical algorithms for specific types of problems. Its applications extend across diverse fields, including optimization, machine learning, and scientific simulations.
