Draft:Chen's algorithm

Chen's algorithm is a quantum algorithm by Yilei Chen, published in a 2024 preprint. Chen's result has drawn attention because potentially reduces some special cases of the well-known shortest independent vector problem to a polynomial-time problem, thus potentially compromises what was thought of as a post-quantum cryptography algorithm. If the result can be extended into other fields, it may require the development of posf-quantum techniques to become part of mainstream cryptography.

The validity of Chen's result has been questioned.
