Wang Chao and Shanghai University claim to have broken a 22-bit RSA key with a D-Wave 'quantum computer'. D-Wave has been the frequent subject of scorn from Scott Aaronson, who is very skeptical of their claims to achieve quantum speedups on meaningful problems, e.g. in 2017. How long will it be before he says something about this?
