in about 0.1 seconds with a simple brute force algorithm.
Nope. Entire point of quantum computers is that they can solve certain class of problems many orders of magnitude faster than equivalent classical computer.
I totally agree, but this design totally ignores the entire point of quantum computers. It doesn't even use quantum effects. It has some nice functionality, and it's nice to be able to do what this thing does, and later versions will surely be insanely more useful (on a normal computer, a single extra storage qubit would double processing time, now imagine adding another 20 qubits), but it's not quantum, and that makes me sad.
