How Shor's Algorithm Breaks RSA Encryption

PBS Infinite Series · Explainer · YouTube title: Hacking at Quantum Speed with Shor's Algorithm | Infinite Series
Why it's here

HN recommends it as a clear, worked explanation of Shor's algorithm for building intuition.

What it covers

PBS Infinite Series explains how Shor's algorithm lets a quantum computer break RSA encryption, building on earlier episodes about cryptography and the math of quantum computers. It works through the idea step by step.
