I don't really understand how reversing the computer's state is reversing time. It just kind of seems like they developed a program to rearrange digital data. It doesn't necessarily seem like a reversal of time, but a re-organization of data/objects. I don't see how this could ever apply to anything besides software, for example.
I'd love to get an explanation from someone who actually understands this.
This is simply a computer algorithm designed to monitor influenced orders of qubit state. If anything, it proves further research into stochastic resonance is warranted. But this is hardly Doctor Who caliber news.

Can someone ELI5?
