Itamar SivanGUEST
So the most famous example is an algorithmThat is called, uh, uh, Shor's algorithm.

Itamar SivanGUEST
Um, and basically what it can do is it can, uh, factorize large numbers, right? So, uh, factorize means, uh, you know, if I give you, uh, uh, uh, the number 21, then you would tell me three and seven.

Itamar SivanGUEST
But if I give you a very large number, I don't know, 21 million blah, blah, blah, um, actually, uh, you will be unable to, to solve that problem, right? E-even if, if I provide you access to all the computing power in the world, you, y- above a certain, uh, uh, uh, scale of number, that is an impossible task with classical computing.

James SpiroHOST
Like, talk me through that exactly what that looks like, um, in terms of what you aim to achieve through, through growing like that as opposed to focusing on one area or, or breakthrough.
