== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Quantum Algorithm''' β A set of steps designed to be run on a quantum computer to solve a specific problem. * '''Peter Shor''' β The mathematician who discovered the algorithm for factoring large numbers in 1994. * '''Lov Grover''' β The computer scientist who discovered the algorithm for searching unsorted databases in 1996. * '''RSA Encryption''' β The standard security used for the internet, which relies on the fact that "Factoring" large numbers is nearly impossible for classical computers. * '''Factoring''' β Finding the prime numbers that multiply together to make a larger number (e.g., 3 and 5 are the factors of 15). * '''Speedup''' β The measure of how much faster a quantum algorithm is compared to a classical one. * '''Exponential Speedup''' β A massive jump in speed where a problem that takes a billion years could be solved in seconds. * '''Quadratic Speedup''' β A significant but smaller jump (e.g., reducing 1,000,000 steps to 1,000 steps). * '''Oracle''' β A "Black Box" part of an algorithm that can check if an answer is correct. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
