Quantum Computing and Information
Factoring is the process of breaking down a number or an algebraic expression into its constituent parts, or factors, which, when multiplied together, yield the original number or expression. In computational contexts, factoring plays a crucial role in the security of encryption systems and has a significant impact on algorithm efficiency, particularly when comparing classical and quantum approaches to problem-solving.
