The manuscript has been out since October 2025, and back then it didn't make so much noise. Looks like solid work, but more muted in tone than this press release. https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.08110

"Scientists may have...that ability could...early experiments suggest...if verified, it could..."
I have become jaded with publications that hedge like this. In my experience most of these discoveries never pan out, they just disappear. And not being in the field myself, I don't know how to judge.
Does anyone in quantum computing have a read on how big a deal this is (or isn't)?

The majority of press releases, from universities, are complete fan fiction. It's so damn disheartening.

The limiting factor for quantum computers is keeping them cold. Is this triple superconductor high temperature too? If not, it's not going to change things much.

In QC, keeping cold is not just needed to superconduct, but to reduce thermal noise to level below the energy levels operated at.

7k, kelvin that is, according to the fine article. Very very cold, but better than nothing.
