Quantum Computing is still a very new field and has very few well-known academics associated with it. Aaronson has already received several awards (Danny Lewin Best Student Paper Award at the 2004 ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing; the Best Student Paper Award at the IEEE Conference on Computational Complexity two years in a row (2003 and 2004); the David J. Sakrison Memorial Prize for his PhD thesis (given for a "truly outstanding piece of research as documented in written form"); and the C. V. Ramamoorthy Distinguished Research Award for his paper "Quantum Lower Bound for the Collision Problem)http://www.csail.mit.edu/people/1324. He has already published numerous papers.http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/indices/a-tree/a/Aaronson:Scott.html, http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?hl=en&lr=&sa=G&oi=qs&q=%22scott+aaronson%22+author:s-aaronson.  is a guideline (and a very difficult guideline to read), but I suggest there is enough here to establish notability within that guideline already. You don't win those sorts of prizes, even as a student, without being exceptional
