Analyzing the Performance of Variational Quantum Factoring on a Superconducting Quantum Processor — mentioned by eigenket

Significantly larger numbers than 15 have been factored [1] but not using Shor's algorithm. Shor's algorithm is particularly sensitive to noise/errors in your quantum computer and isn't going to be useful unless we get a properly error corrected machine working. The algorithms used in [1] are considerably less fancy (with worse asymptomatic performance) but are more resilient to noise. [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.07825
