"The superconducting qubit research led by the IBM team has been progressing in a very focused way on the road to a reliable, scalable quantum computer. The device performance that they have now reported brings them nearly to the tipping point; we can now see the building blocks that will be used to prove that error correction can be effective, and that reliable logical qubits can be realized,"

— Quote by David DiVincenzo, professor at the Institute of Quantum Information, Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Juelich.  Quote found in an IBM press release at “IBM Research Advances Device Performance for Quantum Computing”

"In the past, people have said, maybe it’s 50 years away, it’s (Quantum Computing) a dream, maybe it’ll happen sometime. I used to think it was 50. Now I’m thinking like it’s 15 or a little more. It’s within reach. It’s within our lifetime. It’s going to happen."

— Quote by Mark B. Ketchen, Manager, Physics of Information, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York on the topic of Quantum Computing.  Quote found in an online New York Times article titled  “I.B.M. Inch Closer on Quantum Computer”
