In this research, we investigate the relationships between classical and quantum computing, and the superior time complexity and memory allocation proposed theoretically for quantum algorithms. This is accomplished by building quantum circuits to represent algorithms and test in a quantum computer simulation. Classical circuit components have been continually reducing in size to the point where they are now being impacted by quantum properties, resulting in the need to investigate quantum computing. The inherent parallelism of quantum computing also allows us to solve problems for which classical computers are inept. The class of intractable problems in computing where the solution can only be found through exhaustive search is where we observe quantum computing supremacy. It is important to explore and advance our knowledge of quantum computing so we are prepared for when it becomes a reality, and so that in the future our understanding of encryption is deepened and new quantum-proof methods can be developed. Although Google and IBM have developed physical quantum computers, there is still a large deficit in knowledge of how they may be utilized. There is also a gap between proposed superior quantum solutions and problems demonstrably solved using quantum algorithms. Among the problems classically considered intractable is one extremely relevant to cybersecurity, known as Shor’s algorithm, that being an efficient algorithm for integer factorization, breaks down our well-established methods of cryptography. The aim of this research is to show the differences and advantages of quantum computing, and to specifically demonstrate how we can use Shor’s algorithm in a quantum system.

With the rapid onset of the Quantum Computing (QC) paradigm in the field of computer science, the QC approach could enable better outcomes to solve some of the classical problems. It is plausible to speculate that quantum computers could outperform classical computers in machine learning tasks because quantum systems exhibit peculiar patterns that conventional systems are assumed to be incapable of producing. This work introduces the QC approach to Machine Learning solutions in computer science and provides a comparison of the performances of QC-based approaches against the classical ones. In addition, an attempt to discuss the potential of QC in solving classical computer science problems such as Shor’s algorithm, the Travelling Salesman problem(TSP), and the prime factorization problem is made through the empirical study of the same.In conclusion, we analyze the outcomes of our practical investigation and devise potential improvements that can be made to the QC methods employed by the solutions.
Nowadays, quantum computing is an important topic since it allows computations to be completed in a small amount of the time. The goal of using quantum computers (QC) is to solve an increasing number of problems that were previously intractable to address with traditional computing. The classical approaches work with bits, which are made up of 0s and 1s, whereas QC uses qubits. Classical computing is limited by storage capacity and speed of calculations, even when parallel computation is conducted on it. Compared to traditional methods, quantum parallelism allows the storage to be reduced exponentially with the potential of a shorter amount of time. Besides, Peter Shor's algorithm can solve the factorization problem used in RSA in polynomial time, whereas in a classical computer, factoring any big integer is intractable. The purpose of this research is to explore and implement quantum computing schemes and how Shor's algorithm can break RSA algorithms.
Quantum computing (QC) presents transformative potential for solving complex scientific problems that remain intractable for classical computers. Leveraging quantum superposition, entanglement, and interference, quantum algorithms such as Shor’s factoring algorithm, Grover’s search algorithm, variational quantum eigensolvers (VQE), and quantum approximate optimization algorithms (QAOA) enable exponential or polynomial speedups for selected problem classes. This paper explores recent advancements in quantum computing algorithms, their practical implementations, and emerging applications in fields such as molecular simulations, material science, cryptography, optimization, and machine learning. We highlight the strengths and limitations of current approaches, present performance analyses through graphical comparisons, and discuss prospective directions for integrating quantum algorithms into real-world scientific workflows. Our findings demonstrate that quantum computing is gradually transitioning from theoretical frameworks to experimental platforms capable of addressing highly complex computational challenges.
