Oh so... what's going on here, if i'm reading it correctly... is they're limited to clifford gates and the stabilization they're talking about might just be combining the real output from an actual qbit computation with a classical version simulated on traditional x86 hardware.
This is notably less impressive than it could be even if I've got that last bit wrong, because according to the gottesman-knill theorem... anything that can be built using only those gates in a quantum system can be simulated at polynomial time on a classical computer.
If I'm reading it right there's no immediately applicable practical gains here, it's possibly just a stepping stone that doesn't actually lead anywhere by itself.
