The description of Yu Deng's work should be accessible to someone who's taken condensed matter physics in grad school.

Is this supposed to imply that it's accessible?

Yes - as in you have thousands, if not tens of thousands of folks around the world who can understand the general ideas of what was worked on.

If 0.0000125% of the population understands "the general ideas" I wouldn't call it accessible.
