Peter Shore .
Peter Williston Shor (born August 14, 1959) is an American professor of applied mathematics at MIT . He is known for his work on quantum computation , in particular for devising Shor's algorithm , a quantum algorithm for factoring exponentially faster than the best currently-known algorithm running on a classical computer.
Early life and education [ edit ]
Shor was born in New York City to Joan Bopp Shor and S. W. Williston Shor.[10] [11] Washington, D.C. and Mill Valley, California .[10] Tamalpais High School , he placed third in the 1977 USA Mathematical Olympiad .[12] International Math Olympiad in Yugoslavia (the U.S. team achieved the most points per country that year).[13] [14] B.S. in Mathematics in 1981 for undergraduate work at Caltech ,[15] Putnam Fellow in 1978. He earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics from MIT in 1985.[16] F. Thomson Leighton , and his thesis was on probabilistic analysis of bin-packing algorithms.
After being awarded his PhD by MIT, he spent one year as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley , and then accepted a position at Bell Labs in New Providence, New Jersey . It was there he developed Shor's algorithm . This development was inspired by Simon's problem , where he first solved the discrete log problem (which relates point-finding on a hypercube to a torus) and,
"Later that week, I was able to solve the factoring problem as well. There’s a strange relation between discrete log and factoring."[17]
Due to their similarity as HSP problems, Shor discovered a related factoring problem (Shor's algorithm) that same week for which he was awarded the Nevanlinna Prize at the 23rd International Congress of Mathematicians in 1998[18] [19] Gödel Prize in 1999.[20] MacArthur Fellowship .[21] Dirac Medal of the ICTP and for 2019 the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Basic Sciences.[22]
Shor began his MIT position in 2003. Currently, he is the Henry Adams Morss and Henry Adams Morss, Jr. Professor of Applied Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at MIT.[23] CSAIL .[24]
He received a Distinguished Alumni Award from Caltech in 2007.[15]
On October 1, 2011, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .[25] [26] ACM Fellow in 2019 "for contributions to quantum-computing, information theory, and randomized algorithms".[27] National Academy of Sciences in 2002.[28] National Academy of Engineering for pioneering contributions to quantum computation.[29]
In an interview published in Nature post-quantum cryptography to be a solution to the quantum threat, although a lot of engineering effort is required to switch from vulnerable algorithms.[30]
Along with three others, Shor was awarded the 2023 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for "foundational work in the field of quantum information."[9]
