Only if they figure out how to encode 21 with two bits.

  That’s trivial[1]: 11 = 21 10 = 7 01 = 3 00 = FileNotFound [1]: https://thedailywtf.com/articles/What_Is_Truth_0x3f_ https://thedailywtf.com/articles/What_Is_Truth_0x3f_

    I know you're joking, but, this is not how Shor's algorithm works.

      Sure it is; with the right isomorphism. (Edit: I have a mathematical physics degree; everything I’ve said here is sarcastic/jokingly. The person I’m replying to is right, this is not how Shor’s algorithm works although I’d hope that was obvious from my original tongue in cheek comment)

    Thank you for this.
