Not having read the paper, I’m skeptical, both because of the author’s relative lack of credentials (he’s a physicist with all of 5 publications, from what I can see), and because the core idea seems too simple. However, the paper is clearly a serious attempt by someone inside academia who works in quantum computing, which is a related and heavily mathematical field. You may have just given me a few hours of weekend reading material. :)
