Quantum algorithm for order finding

In summary, a "Quantum algorithm for order finding" is a mathematical procedure used in quantum computing to determine the order of an element in a group or the period of a function. It works by using a quantum circuit to perform a series of modular exponentiations and quantum Fourier transforms, allowing for a more efficient search compared to classical algorithms. Its main advantages are its speed and ability to solve problems that are not feasible for classical computers. It can be used in number theory, cryptography, and database searching. However, it is limited by the availability of quantum computers and may not always provide a significant advantage over classical algorithms.

I am trying to understand the quantum algorithm for order finding, but I can't find the proof anywhere. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

[itex]\frac{1}{√r}[/itex] Ʃ[itex]^{r-1}_{s=0}[/itex] e[itex]^{2πisk/r}[/itex] |μ[itex]_{s}[/itex]> = |x[itex]^{k}[/itex] mod N>
