Comment on "Realization of a scalable Shor algorithm".
Zhengjun Cao, Lihua Liu · 2015
Abstract. Recently, Monz, et al. [arXiv:1507.08852] have reported the demon-stration of factoring 15 using a scalable Shor algorithm with an ion-trap quantum computer. We remark that the report is flawed because there are three flaws in the proposed circuit diagram of Shor algorithm. We also remark that the principles be-hind the demonstration have not been explained properly, including its correctness and complexity.
