This paper basically explores a hypothetical scenario where scaling quantum memory ends up being cheaper than scaling computational qubits. The title (or abstract) unfortunately does not mention the quantum memory requirements at n=2048 explicitly.

For factoring 2048 RSA integers, the technique proposed in the paper would require ~430 million memory qubits (see the table at top of page 16).
