First Von Neumann Architecture Quantum Computer

To be considered a Von Neumann architecture, the program code needs to be stored in the same ram as the working data. That's the whole point of it. Otherwise, it's a Harvard architecture.

Given that the total ram capacity seems to be 2 bits (though, in all fairness, the bits are qu), it seems implausible that a useful program could fit in it.

Though I have not actually read TFA, I'd say to be skeptical about this. What they probably meant is "It has RAM." Unfortunately they used the completely wrong term for this.
