Shor, P. W. (1995). Scheme for reducing decoherence in quantum computer memory. Physical Review A, 52(4), R2493–R2496.

Authors: Peter W. Shor
Venue: Physical Review A 52, R2493–R2496

Cited from the glossary entries on decoherence and fault tolerance. The paper gives a code that protects stored quantum information against a simple noise model. It is not the factoring algorithm, and it is not a numerical fault-tolerance threshold.
