We study Shor’s algorithm, which allows us to factorize numbers in polynomial time using a quantum computer. The scheme consists of two parts, a quantum circuit for computing the order of an element in a multiplicative group modulo some number, and a non-quantum probabilistic algorithm that uses the quantum circuit as a module.
