“Demonstrates“ vs. “can be applied to 17,000 qubits simultaneously.“ - too completely different things, you know ...

Not sure what distinction you are trying to make.

The researchers used a 58000 atom system, turned 17000 of them into qubits, and applied their gate to all those qubits simultaneously.

Are you doubting this? On what grounds? It's stated pretty clearly in the paper.
