As a mathematician I can say that all math articles I have read so far in Quanta Magazine have been excellent and they deserve praise! This one article might have missed the mark, but the topic is inherently difficult to write about to a lay audience.
As an (ex-)physicist who did minor QC research, I'm very annoyed at the sensationalism. I do typically enjoy Quanta, their sensationalism is usually less severe, and the intuition they givd is decently aligned when I (sometimes) dive deeper.
