In Google tries out error correction on its quantum processorI don't fully understand all the details, but even I can tell that this algorithm is beautiful. Mixing together the concepts of modular sequences, periods, and Fourier transforms, plus doing this fast with computers that barely exist in order to find factors or numbers is …
