Quantum Algorithms
Quantum algorithms take advantage of quantum mechanics to achieve significant speedups over classical algorithms for certain problems.
Key Quantum Algorithms
- Shor’s Algorithm: Exponentially speeds up integer factorization, posing a threat to RSA encryption.
- Grover’s Algorithm: Provides a quadratic speedup for searching unsorted databases.
- Quantum Simulation: Models molecular and material interactions more efficiently than classical methods.
- Hybrid Quantum-Classical Algorithms: Techniques like VQE and QAOA optimize solutions in today’s quantum computers.
Future of Quantum Algorithms
Research continues into discovering new algorithms that push beyond factorization and search, advancing fields like machine learning, cryptography, and material science.
