Information theory gets credited to Shannon but the people who made it actually work in practice rarely get this kind of recognition. Long overdue.

this isn't about making quantum computing work in practice, this work was still theoretical math
Perhaps read the article before commenting. They spend ten years developing an experimental demonstration of their concepts that worked.
the demonstration was to confirm their math. quantum computing hardware is very difficult. they will not be remembered for their groundbeaking work in quantum physics lab equipment
