I’m skeptical about—and not qualified to review—this new result in factorization with a quantum computer, but if it’s true it’s a theoretical improvement in the speed of factoring large numbers with a quantum computer.
EDITED TO ADD (4/13): This post points out that the algorithm only works with small numbers.
