Even the first line of that paper is false.

"RSA cryptography is based on the difficulty of factoring large integers, which is an NP-hard (and hence intractable) problem for a classical computer."

That is incorrect: there is no proof that factoring is NP-hard. Anyway, you can hardly expect me to take anything they say after this seriously.
