Can it save the world from disaster? (Prof. Peter Shor) RT Going Underground [Video]

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Peter Shor, the originator of Shor’s algorithm. He explains the algorithm’s method of factoring large numbers and how it could bring a revolution in quantum computing, what quantum computing is, and what differentiates it from regular computing. He also discusses the current technology of RSA encryption and why it is inefficient and expensive, why Shor’s algorithm can open the door to major advancements in medicine, chemistry, energy production and other major issues humanity faces today, why it is taking so long to mass-produce effective quantum computers, and more.
