About this video
In our latest episode, we cover a beginner's explanation on Shor's Algorithm.
This is one of the most important algorithms as it threatens the cryptography that underpins most every major blockchain out there today (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc)
For example, when you take Shor's Algorithm and run it on a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (as this becomes available), you can break Bitcoin by taking the public key and generating a private key, something no other type of computer can do.
