The values are calculated by utilizing the Knuth's Algorithm X. Only the number of non-isomorphic SQS's is presented in peer-reviewed literature and scientific textbooks. The algorithm was verified to be valid by seeking STS's presented in A001201.
n=14 calculated from "Mendelsohn and Hung: On Steiner Systems S(3,4,14) and S(4,5,15), Util. Math. Vol 1 (1972), pp. 5-95" with orbit-stabilizer theorem
n=15 is given in "Petteri Kaski, Patric R. J. Östergård (Patric.Ostergard(AT)hut.fi) and O. Pottonen, The Steiner quadruple systems of order 16". SQS(20) is still unknown.
