    "abstract": "Entanglement has been termed a critical resource for quantum information\nprocessing and is thought to be the reason that certain quantum algorithms,\nsuch as Shor\u0027s factoring algorithm, can achieve exponentially better\nperformance than their classical counterparts. The nature of this resource is\nstill not fully understood: here we use numerical simulation to investigate how\nentanglement between register qubits varies as Shor\u0027s algorithm is run on a\nquantum computer. The shifting patterns in the entanglement are found to relate\nto the choice of basis for the quantum Fourier transform.",
