Julian Kelly, Director of Hardware at Google Quantum AI: "We think we're about five years out from a real breakout... a practical application that you can only solve on a quantum computer." Following Google’s December breakthrough in quantum error correction, momentum is building fast.

Another bank has cut its price target, and this time it’s to a new low on Wall Street. Barclays strategists say they’ve lowered their year-end S&P 500 price target to 5,900 from 6,600.
