  • An animated look at how Shor's Algorithm came to be, narrated by Peter Shor himself.
    Though Shor’s Algorithm is widely known, the story of how it was discovered isn’t. Speaking from MIT at the 40th Anniversary of the Physics of Computation Conference, Peter Shor recounts his journey from young mathematician to Ph.D student and how he devised one of the most famous algorithms in quantum computing.

    It's exciting to see how historical discoveries are done.

    Amazing work! Thanks for sharing the background with such a fun animation.

    Really interesting. Thanks for the information.

    Very striking that breaking discrete log was a curiosity while breaking factoring was a major event. I guess in those days RSA was *the* algorithm. Today we mostly prefer discrete-log based algorithms.

      what do we use discrete-log based algorithms for today? i'm interested to know some examples.

      @@ionman6237 Probably already discovered it but DL is used on Diffie-Helman based problems which stems a plethora of schemes. One for encryption is ElGamal encryption and there is even a signature-based scheme for ElGamal. Much more on this. For examples pairing-based cryptography is also based on the fact on the hardness of DL.

    Video design ... excellent. I don't know anything about Shor's Algorithm, but it seems to be considered above average.

    We need a video on how much funding into the field of quantum computing Shor's Algorithm has attracted. It is beautiful 😍

    At 1:53, the paper's title seems to suggest he already solved the factoring problem, then he says later 2:31 that he managed to solved it later in a few days.

    At 2:44, he says he told someone (Vazirani) that he knows how to factor large numbers in a QC, then at 3:11 suggests that he is surprised that people knew that he solved the factoring problem instead of Discrete Log.

      The video cut short, watch the original talk where he later corrected himself.

    Like who sent him his paper? (1:53)

    This is an amusing video, but the sequence and story are confusing in certain parts. It made more sense than it should since I've heard him tell this story before.

    1:50 makes it look like Simon actually ghost-wrote the factoring paper and sent it to Shor. I don't understand that part.

  • @maxwellsdaemon7

    I couldn't make out what word he said when the video showed Simon's paper and his paper getting accepted to "Fox"???
