Will this system be finally able to factor number 35 using Shor? IBM tried and failed in 2019



For those interested, here's the paper where the IBM Quantum Computer failed to factor 35: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.100.012305

I found a cite to it claiming this was evidence of success in factoring 35, 'cos they didn't read past the abstract (which could be read as indicating success) to the words in the paper "Eventually, the algorithm fails to factor N = 35."

But yeah, "call me when it factors 35."


came here to post "call me when you can factor 25"
