“Don’t be afraid to have a really broad background, even if you think it’s going to be irrelevant.” I love this. It was always my struggle in college when adding courses, “Just because I liked them.” It’s actually opened more doors for me than I once thought, merely because I went off on a tangent and studied something because it sounded fun.

The discovery of the Shor algorithm in 1994 was a pivotal moment in quantum computing, highlighting the potential for quantum computers to solve certain problems exponentially faster than classical computers. This has not only pushed forward the boundaries of computer science but has also driven significant interest and investment in quantum computing research and development. Shor's work continues to be a foundational piece in the ongoing evolution of quantum technologies. Prof shor was at fore front of genisis of quantum computing. The genius of Prof Shor.
Peter is truly inspirational to me - being "quirky", being 100% who he is and being in peace with a lot of things following his passion - thanks a lot for being who you are!

The quantum computer can speed up this process due it being able to do superposition with its quantum qubits. A classical computer wouldn't be able to due these processes at the same speed of a quantum computer. Thats all i know but yeah
@@artificialintelligencechannel Yes, there are a number of quantum algorithms that demonstrate this. Probably the simplest is Deutsch-Jozsa, which aims to determine if a function is constant (always giving you the same result regardless of the input) or balanced (giving you one result half of the time and another the other half). With traditional computing you can only rule out the "balanced" case if you try over half the number of possible inputs and look at the results of each. With the quantum version you can do it with just one try (because you can represent all the inputs at once in a superposition). Quantum computers aren't just fast traditional computers; they are based on a completely different kind of logic/math (i.e. quantum information theory). So they require completely new algorithms (like Shor's) to be useful.
We have reached quantum eigenfunction states but still cant invent a projector board that doesnt use chalks. Erasable multicolor marker pens to write on movable whyteboards or transparencies that autoproject and print without heatburning the writer.

what problem have quantum computing solved faster than conventional computing?

Keep this guy alive at all COST ❤️🙏🏼
His speech is melodic and mathematically beautiful. ❤
Truly a beautiful mind! Love this look into the life of this great man.
Some people are predicting Peter Shor might get the Nobel price in physics! That would be awesome.
The way the Nobel Prizes are awarded at the moment, I that think medicine it just as likely...
This guys aura is raw as hell
What makes me sad is that society pays a lot for entertainers that do not improve social welfare, but pay cents to individuals like him.
That’s why modern science is dying.
A sad reality.
Why do you think tenured MIT profs make cents

Well done Shor this grand design was made for you for Shor 😆 👌
😂
This is the kind of scientist I like. He's both an amateur and a pro.
Great mind. 😊
He says that you can't do this with normal computers, only with quantum computers. Can anybody explain to me why this is so?

@@JayshaanBatth thanks. But is there some proof that a quantum computer can indeed do this?

While Shor's algorithm is the most well-known quantum factorization method, the largest number reliably factored using it is only 21.
About 30% of my students are also able to do that.
I'm such an invalid I had Robert Trivers come up with 14 Misunderstandings of Natural Selection.
And they think he is not deserving of that crap called Nobel laureates award?
David Letterman teaching algorithms!?!?!?
Reminds me of "Jack of all trades master of none but better than master of one"
Brilliant but why the stupid background music ?
This guy looks like math.
L'Algo constitue le schéma mathématique pour découvrir et orienter les données scientifiques vers le réel .
The music is so annoying.
Score good get good fail get fail...that true of 100% fair white core is ......
He seems so Shor of things.
(Lame uncreative dad jokes infect the world of mathematics)
background music completely unnecessary and extremely annoying
Last Results tells everythings good or not must be realistic...i cant tell u good but ur cant even task i give fail cmon score tells u cant....
