or efficiently are terms of trade for computer scientists and mean that there's a polynomial upper bound.
On the other hand IBM also claims (from the graphs? not sure if they have anything more to back up the claim) that their scheme "scales approximately linearly with the circuit depth" which would likely make the experiment meaningless.
The entire post is a bit odd though since it starts out with a serious discussion of computer science topics and then swerves into criticism of how the media misuses terms.
