The 'real' paper sits behind a paywall at http://www.nature.com/nphoton/journal/v9/n6/full/nphoton.201..., but http://arxiv.org/pdf/1504.00095 probably is fairly similar.

Crux seems to be "our algorithm searches the full design space of fabricable devices with arbitrary topologies."

Very useful, but may be not that spectacular, depending on the efficiency of that search.
