a quantum algorithm for finding factors of a number

Shor’s algorithm is a quantum algorithm for finding factors of a number.

a quantum technique called Shor’s algorithm

In particular, a quantum technique called Shor’s algorithm can factor large numbers exponentially faster than classical machines.

an algorithm for integer factorization

And this computer can not run Shor’s algorithm (an algorithm for integer factorization) as well as other important algorithms.

the most talked-about quantum computer algorithm

But perhaps the most talked-about quantum computer algorithm is something called Shor’s algorithm, which could change the way almost all our data in encrypted.
