> they just haven't yet been able to factor large enough numbers to be dangerous. According to [1], the current highest factorization using Schor's algorithm is 21=3 * 7 published in 2012, up from the 15=3 * 5 that was demonstrated in 2001. This pace is not all that promising. Sure, there are other quantum factorizations, but they are either stunts (work only for very narrow classes), or are based on a different algorithm than Schor, which does not show hope to scale up.

Blank lines separate paragraphs.
Text surrounded by asterisks is italicized, if the character after the first asterisk isn't whitespace.
Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim. (This is intended for code.)
Urls become links, except in the text field of a submission.
