In this Article, the legend of Figure 2 is incorrect:

“The column algorithm: the adjacency matrix pattern (left) and embedding into the the D-Wave 2X quantum processor (right) of the quadratic binary polynomial for M = 200099”.

Should read:

“Column factoring procedure”.

In addition, the legend of Figure 3 is incorrect:

“The column algorithm: the adjacency matrix pattern (left) and embedding into the the D-Wave 2X quantum processor (right) of the quadratic binary polynomial for M = 200099”.

Should read:

“Cell factoring procedure”.
