If the research is true, will it make it possible for someone to easily steal my bitcoin?

Yes, if they have a sufficiently powerful quantum computer.

This research has no impact on Bitcoin, it was already broken post quantum by Shor's algorithm. They will simply change the signature algorithm when quantum computers become available so it should be fine.
