According to the article, what they measured doesn't really sound like a 'real' quantum system: it's a superconducting circuit with two discrete states with an infinite number of previously immeasurable superposition states in between. They call this an 'artificial atom'. Unless I'm mistaken, it's an emulation of sorts.
