A *quantum algorithm* is an algorithm that can be executed on a [[quantum computer]]. Unlike [[Algorithm|classical algorithms]], quantum computers take advantage of fundamental properties of [[quantum mechanics|quantum physics]], such as [[superposition]], [[entanglement]], and [[interference]] of [[Wave Function|wave functions]]. The [[Shor algorithm]] and the [[Grover algorithm]] are two prominent examples of quantum algorithms. >[!read]- Further Reading > - [[Entanglement]] > - [[Superposition]] > - [[Grover Algorithm]] > - [[Shor Algorithm]] >[!ref]- References
