As a rule of thumb in QC, largely ignore (or heavily discount) announcements made by academicians (at universities or industry), with CS, complexity theory theoretical physics or maths backgrounds. The more (in)famous they are (Aaroson), the less likely they've made any real progress. Only experimental solid state physicists and a few EE types know how to build actual circuits and why they don't work.
