Title:
The Shor algorithm
Abstract:
The Shor algorithm is the killer app of quantum computation & the reason I first became interested in the subject. In this talk we'll briefly cover how RSA encryption (the standard protocol used today) works & why it's difficult to break encryption keys, then we'll take a detailed dive into the mathematical & quantum machinery behind how the Shor algorithm makes breaking keys easy.
Bio:
Seth Cottrell wrote & currently teaches the undergraduate quantum computation course at the City College of New York. He is also the designer & principle investigator of CCNY's new undergraduate quantum optics laboratory, where physical examples of quantum information (such as qubits, entanglement, & non-local measurements) are explored. He earned undergraduate degrees in math & physics at UC Santa Cruz & a PhD in mathematics from the Courant Institute at NYU, where he studied quantum information & quantum graphs. He is the author of the popular-science book Do Colors Exist?: And Other Profound Physics Questions & a soon to be published textbook Quantum Computation: An Introduction for Undergraduates which you can have for free here:
