Introduction Quantum algorithms form the backbone of quantum computing, harnessing the unique principles of quantum mechanics to solve complex problems with unprecedented efficiency. Unlike classical algorithms, quantum algorithms exploit quantum parallelism and superposition to process information exponentially faster. This chapter explores the fundamentals of quantum algorithms and highlights their revolutionary impact on specific computational challenges. 1. Principles of Quantum Parallelism Superposition Quantum bits, or qubits, can exist in multiple states simultaneously due to the principle of superposition. This enables quantum computers to explore a multitude of possibilities in parallel, offering a significant advantage over classical computers. Entanglement Quantum entanglement links qubits in a way that the state of one qubit instantaneously influences the state of another, regardless of distance. This phenomenon plays a crucial role in quantum algorithms, enhancing their co
