IBM, Google expect quantum computers by end of decade, FT says

After a series of recent technical breakthroughs, the creation of full-scale quantum computers may be possible by the end of the decade, Richard Waters of The Financial Times reports. Back in June, IBM (IBM) became the latest to claim its path was clear to a full-scale machine, believing it could build the machine by the end of the decade. This has intensified its race with Google (GOOGL), which announced last year it cleared on of its largest remaining hurdles on creating one and said it was on course to finish by the end of the decade.
