Colloquium Lectures

Quantum Computing and Cryptography
Speaker: Professor Neal Koblitz (University of Washington, Seattle, USA)

Time: 9h30, Friday, December 21, 2018

 Location: Grand Hall, Building A6, Institute of Mathematics, 18B Hoang Quoc Viet, Cau Giay, Hanoi

Abstract: I will first describe Shor's algorithm, which a large-scale quantum computer, if one is ever built, could use to break RSA cryptography by factoring the RSA modulus N=pq. Then I will discuss general questions of the impact of quantum computing and the likelihood that it will be practical in the foreseeable future.
