Recent Achievements and claims
The field of quantum computing has seen several notable claims and achievements:
- University of Trento researchers used a quantum annealer to factor 8,219,999 (32,749 x 251), reportedly the largest number factorized by a quantum device to date.
- Chinese researchers claimed to have factorized a 48-bit key on a 10-qubit quantum computer in early 2023, though this claim has not been peer-reviewed.
- The Shanghai University research, if verified, would represent another step forward in this field.
