18 min How Quantum Computers Break Encryption | Shor's Algorithm Explainedminutephysics

I'm studying electrical engineering and taking a course in introduction to quantum computing. in that course, they mention the quantum advantages in breaking RSA using Shor's algorithm as explained in minute physics videos: youtube.com/watch?v=lvTqbM5Dq4Q. I couldn't find a good and attractive explanation of the math behind RSA. I think it's a good topic for a video that includes both an interesting story and practical knowledge (the two ingredients for a successful math lesson as you mention in your TED talk).

3 min The Rocket & String Paradoxminutephysics

GR: Minute Physics posted a video about Bell's spaceship paradox but I am still confused... I thought this specific kind of problem could benefit from visualization of the kind you sometimes use when transforming the space (or the plane).

Explanation of the Bell test in Veritasium video I was watching this video by Veritasium on the Bell test. At minute 23:27 they explain the experiment proposed by Bell to test locality in quantum mechanics. At 24:18 they explain the disagreement rate in a weird way that leaves me wondering if they made an error or just omitted key information.

8 min How to Produce EntanglementDr Ben Miles

This sort of covers how to produce entanglement. To answer your question about couldn't the photon easily change, the answer is yes, this is called de-coherence and is one of the main complications with quantum computing. The entangled state is easily broken.
