A quantum computer with 27 qubits will at most be able to select the best solution among 2^27 = 134217728 possible solutions. This is trivial with modern non-quantum hardware.
With this number of qubits they should be able to factor number greater than 21 which appears to be the current record [0]. Is there any reliable record to show that IBM can do this?

- aliasEli 5y agoI asked if there was any evidence that the IBM quantum computers could find the prime factors of a number larger than 21. This is trivial for any normal computer but there appears to be no evidence that quantum computers can do it now.
