The only snag was that “Shor’s algorithm”, as it is now known, required something that at the time only existed on university ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the ...
