Shor's algorithm exploits the ability of such systems to exist simultaneously in multiple states.
On the theoretical side, we have, as an outgrowth of Bell's theorem, the constantly improving classification of entangled states, and the development of measures of entropy and information content of such states; GHZ states, Shor's algorithm, various sorting techniques, and error-correcting codes.
Shor's algorithm opened the doors to much more effort aimed at realizing the quantum computers' potential.
