Actually this has some similarities to experiments with elementary particles that were conducted in Europe during the past few years. Of course those particles had mass. The experimenters found that accelerating those particles caused some to "pop out of existence" and reappear before they had entered some type of other space or reality. In those experiments, since it seems the particles were tunneling through space, no researcher claimed FTL travel, although to cover the distance in the time frame they did they certainly had to circumvent the speed of light. Also, within the article from the Washington Post this sentence leaps out: "That is, the peak of the pulse is, in effect, extended forward in time." [Emphasis added.] Unless you think this is a misrepresentation of the results of the experiment, what it means is they broke the time barrier by extending the light waves into the future. FT
