Our algorithm can easily be explained by a geometrical interpretation and the time bounds are obtained without the use of any complicated data structure. Furthermore, we show how Wagner and Whitin's ...

Scientists have demonstrated a quantum algorithm that performs a true calculation for the first time. Quantum algorithms could one day enable the design of new materials, pharmaceuticals or clean ...

A quantum calculation able to crack one of the most common forms of data encryption has been performed on a silicon chip for the first time. The study demonstrates that complex quantum circuits ...
