== Archive and other stuff ==
So I've gone ahead and archived most of the rest of the posts on this page. There were multiple long discussions, many from literally 15 years ago, ~2006-2008, and I figured they weren't worth keeping. @[[User:Qq8|Qq8]], @[[User:Lucas Innocenti|Lucas Innocenti]], I noticed you two were talking on one the of the older posts, but the discussion wasn't really relevant to the older post, so I figured I could archive it, and you guys could make a new post. Your guyses edits to the page have been very good! The page looks a lot better than when I first saw it.
A few months ago in April, I made a drastic series of edits to the page, pretty much wiping out most of the algorithm explanation and replacing it with the baseline of what the article is right now, which is largely based off the quantum phase estimation formulation of the algorithm. The explanation for the quantum subroutine of the algorithm from before seemed mostly like giberish, so I just decided to get rid of it. I meant to look into it at some point, to see if there was some value there, but I haven't bothered, so if anybody else wants to look into that, go right ahead :)
Also, it may be a good idea to include information on the original formulation of Shor's algorithm without phase estimation. I think the original body of this article explained it that way (but again it was pretty bad). [[User:Tapeworms27|Tapeworms27]] ([[User talk:Tapeworms27|talk]]) 23:41, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
