However if a quantum computer will do anything particularly useful a lot faster than a classical computer that question is still open.

Can you provide a reference for photonic quantum computers outperforming a classical one?  I can't find anything on this.

From the article,

"Neither would be particularly useful on its own as a computer, and the Chinese device was built to solve just one type of problem."

Not much of a computer that can only solve one type of problem.
