What is recorded here?
Gives polynomial-time algorithms for integer factorization and discrete logarithms in the quantum computation model.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The 1994 conference work is distinct from the linked 1995 preprint and later journal version. The complexity result assumes quantum computation; it does not establish that current devices can break practical cryptography.
